You know, I was in

New York City a few months ago

And the garbage and the

Trash men were on strike

I'm talking about the

Maintenance people for the city

What they were trying to do was

They were trying to get

A little more money

You know, get a little raise in pay

But at that particular time

The city was broke

They were about ready

To declare default

I tell you, the garbage in some places

Was stacked up two, three stories high

At night, heh, boy, at night

It wasn't even safe to

Walk the streets, you see

Cause the rats

The roaches and the water bugs

I mean they were hustling, baby

Trying to get something to eat, see

And let me tell you something

It was stinking

Boy, there was all kind

Of disease in there

You know, but it only brought

To mind the fact that you can

No longer depend on the man downtown

To take care of business like

He's supposed to when he's supposed to

In order for us to get it

Like it's supposed to be

As far as cleanliness

You know, and safety

We gotta get together

And do it for ourselves

That's the only way it's gonna be done

And you know what I'm talking about

Let me tell you what I mean

(Clean it up, clean it up)

Well, y'all, get it

(Clean it up, clean it up)

You've gotta get it

(Clean it up, clean it up)

Get it, you know you get it

(Clean it up, clean it up)

Ghetto, talking bout the ghetto

Ghetto is our home

That's where we live

Where we live

Get your paint

Get your hammer, your nails

Get your brooms

Your mop and your pails

We gonna wash it, polish

And make it all clean

Let's wash away all of the sin

Time for a new life to begin

In the ghetto

I said

Clean it up, clean it up

I said we gonna

Clean it up, clean it up

Because the ghetto

I said the ghetto

Ghetto is our home

(That's where we live

Where we live)

Let's paint a sign

Everybody can read

Let's get rid of everything

We don't need

The pushers, the dealers

The pocketbook snatchers

And thieves, uh huh

Let's make the streets safe

For women to walk

Let's get rid of all the vulgar talk

We gotta do it

In order for us to survive

I said we gotta

(Clean it up, clean it up) do it

We, we got to

(Clean it up, clean it up)

Yeah, hey

(Ghetto) sunny ghetto, oh

(Ghetto, ghetto is our home)

That's where we live from day to day

(That's where we live

Where we live) yeah

All of you brothers

That live on the main line

You lived in the ghetto

Once upon a time

We need everybody to lend a hand

Now you've helped everybody else

Now's the time for you

To help yourself

We can't depend

Depend on the people downtown

Well, well, get it up, get it up

Clean it up, clean it up

Well, well

Clean it up, clean it up

Hey, hey, hey, hey

(Ghetto) yeah

Ghetto (ghetto) ghetto

Ghetto is our home

Yeah, that's where we live

Where we live, well

I said downtown

(Clean it up, clean it up)

Get it up, get it up

(Come on, y'all)

(Let's clean it up, clean it up)

Get a broom, well

(Come on, y'all)

(Let's clean it up, clean it up)

(Come on, y'all)

(Let's clean it up, clean it up)...
