I have a burning question, hopefully someone knows the answer to this: "What is Michael Jackson saying at the end of the song "You Made Me What I Am Today" from the album "Skywriter" (1973)?

As far as I know he is saying.....

On the ground,
Watched me fly
To the top
Thanks a lot,
then continues with You made me what I am today, You made me what I am today until fades...hope this helps :)
