Easy Street - Hit Co

Easy Street - Hit Co. Masters

I remember the way

Our sainted mother

Would sit and croon us

Her lullaby

She'd say kids there's a place

That's like no other

You got to get there before you die

You don't get there

By playing from the rule book

You stack the aces

You load the dice

Mother dear

Oh we know you're down there listening

How can we follow

Your sweet advice to

Easy street

Easy street

Where you sleep till noon

Yeah yeah yeah

She'd repeat

Easy street

Better get there

Easy street

Easy street

Where the rich folks play

Yeah yeah yeah

Move them feet

To easy street

When you get there stay

It ain't fair

How we scrounge

For three of four bucks

While she gets Warbucks

That little brat

It ain't fair this here life

Is driving me nuts

While we get peanuts

She's living fat

Maybe she holds the key

That little lady

To getting more bucks

Instead of less

Maybe we fix the game

With something shady

Where does that put us

Give you our guess

Yes

Easy street

Easy street

Annie is the key

Yes sirree

Yes sirree

Yes sirree

Aha

Easy street

Easy street

That's where we're gonna be
