Some time back.. no long time back, I wrote a blog post on one of my favourite sitcoms, The Jeffersons. As it had to happen some or the other time, I am bitten by the Jeffersons bug again. This comes from my sister who reminded of it. Anyway, just wanted to share the title song.
Get groovin' people.
Note: These are the opening credits of the Season 1 of The Jeffersons. Why is Louise (Isabel Sanford) crying in the title song? Well, that's because she has just left her neighborhood in the Queens to move to a richer neighborhood, and is missing it. The Jeffersons was a spin off from the sitcom All in the Family. To see what happened before this title song, see here.
Lyrics:
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

ReplyDeleteFind it on youtube. Most of the episodes, about 90%, are on youtube. Start from watching one episode of All in the Family, as linked in the post.
