A concise encapsulation of the American Dream and the transcendence of social boundaries (with some good Bass runs):

"Movin' On Up"
Jeff Barry / Ja'net DuBois
The Jefferson's Theme Song

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.

The tall white neighbor with the British accent - he was a hoot.
