I Like It

Everywhere I go, up and down the street
Everyone's my buddy, they're falling at my feet
I'm more than a kid, I'm part of the gang
They know where I go, who I'm with, and my name
They call me 'C' ( 'C' )
And I like it
Cool as can be ( 'C' )
And I like it
Walking tall, feeling fine
Belmont Avenue's mine
And I like it
The guys down at the pool-hall, they're begging me to play
The kids up at the corner, all step out my way
The girls give me looks that are sweeter than summer
And why because I'm a real up-and-comer
They call me 'C' ( 'C' )
And I like it
They smile at me ( 'C' )
And I like it
Things are good, Yes, they are
Life's a big cookie jar
And I like it
Just yesterday, they pushed me aside.
Just yesterday, they all looked right through me
Suddenly, 'Boom!'
The world knows who I am
Life's a carnival ride since Sonny happened to me

When I'm at the drugstore, my coke don't cost a dime
Over at the news stand for comics all the time
The grocer, the peddler, the whole neighborhood
Wherever I go, I know my moneys no good
They call me 'C' ( 'C' )
And I like it
Everything's free ( 'C' )
And I like it
Got a style, got a rep, got a spring in my step
I got the cash and the crew, all because of guess who
Nothing will be quite the same
Starting with my new name
And I like it
Yeahhh
I like it
Woahhh
I like it
