The Jefferson's Lyrics
Artist: TV Theme Songs
Album: TV Theme Songs
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 teh 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.

when i listen to the lyrics on the tv show i do not here the word THERE when they say its you and me baby (there) aint nothing wrong with that so does it belong or not in the lyrics?
hi
mohamed
I thougt the lyrics were:
We'er moving on up to the top
To the deluxe apartments in the sky...
I could never really make it this thanks
I love that show! It's funny af🙌🙌
I remember I t is as synea says. As I remember it, 'to the east side' was a little background harmonics to the real line, which was 'to the top'.
I could never understand the line "Gettin' our turn at bat." until I read it here!
u have to really listen to it it's there almost like all in the family in the end they say gee our old lasalle ran great those were the days
I love this song it so inspirational........beautiful
So great to view a wealthy Afro American family in times when the Caucasian would have been the upper class
When the sang "took a whole gotta trying'"
It sounds like "took a lot a terahin "
As a kid, I always thought the line "As long as we live, it's you and me baby" was "Those sweet lips are chewin' me baby."
I could never understand why they would say that!
It's so crazy the things we hear and then see the lyrics and have an epiphany. lol!
In the immortal words of George Jefferson.... "Weeezay!!"
I always correctly understood the line, "beans don't burn on the grill", but I never understood what it means. Who cooks beans on a grill!?
There is definitely there so there.
Leave it to a black singer to screw words up to songs. Why can't they sing like normal people? Lmmfaooooo!
you can go to YouTube and see Hitler sings The Jeffersons Movin On Up and the east side that they're moving up to is Poland.
This song is the bomb baby! R.I.P. George
I've loved the Jefferson's ever since I was a young kid at age 5 I can remember my father coming home from work and turning the set just to watch George and Florence go back and fourth!" THE GOOD OLE DAY'S!
been singing this my whole life mumbling the " gettin our turn at bat" part. thanks for solving that for me😄and YES...THERE is definately there...sounds like ""they"" aint nothing wrong with that"
I never understood why it say fish don't fry in the kitchen beans don't burn on the grill....
Crazy they should of said: Beans dont burn in the kitchen fish dont fry on the grill it still would of went
It was, "took a whole lot of, 'do-I-say.'" The expression is elided, from, "do-what-I-say." (Maybe it's also to the exclusion of, "what-I-do.") In the, "big-leage," there is no, "tryin';" only do, or not-do, no try. --Yoda
Regardless of what each of us understood
there's a "Poetic License" that allows an artist to do everything she did in this song.
Po·et·ic Li·cense
noun
the freedom to depart from the facts of a matter or from the conventional rules of language when speaking or writing in order to create an effect.
"he used a little poetic license to embroider a good tale"
This would be a great song to play while showing a slide show of Barack and Michele Obama’s new house in Washington DC!
to this day I watch the jefferson and I love the cast so much every time I watch them I sing it and I fell in love with the song and I love it when george calls tom a honky
If I ever win the lottery, I’m gonna strut like George to accept the check, and have this song playing on a loop for at least a week!
Ya know, I watched this show and I liked it. But when it comes right down to it. It's racist. Just look at the way they portrayed every white character. Tom is a moron. Bentley is a weirdo. George can call all white people honkey but if you make any sort of derrogitory comment about a black person you are a racist. Double standard.
this song keeps playing in my head!
From "All in the Family" to "The Jeffersons" to "Different Strokes" ... T.V. was putting it's toe in the water ... portraying our divisions and unity regarding racism in a way that would spark awareness and coversation ... hopefully conversion.
Watching the 2019 Live remake of "All amd the Family with Woody Harrelson as Archie and the Live remake of the Jefferson's with Jamie Fox as George Jefferson.. Brings back so many great memories as a kid.. Love it..
So much respect for all of those actors. They were putting on a show for us...and we believed them...absolutely incredible. Redd Foxx was another great...
