<b>Easy Street</b> by <i>Smokey Robinson & The Miracles</i><br />See Voice Key below.

Instrumental intro with spoken comments and finger snapping:

Ooo-wee, that fella just got it made.

An' I wanna tell you...

GM: Oh yeah, oh yeah,

Ooo-wee! Ooo-wee!

Easy Street.

Verse 1:

All: Easy Street,

I'd love to live on Easy Street.

Nobody works on Easy Street.

They just sit around all day.

Just sit and play the horses.

Verse 2:

All: Life is sweet,

GM: Ooo-ooo/ RW: /for folks who live on

All: Easy Street.

GM: No weekly payments

All: You must meet,

That makes your hair turn' gray,

M: Turn' gray, turn' gray!

Chorus:

All: When opportunity comes a-knockin',

You just keep on with your rockin',

'Cause you know your fortune's ma-ay-hade.

And any time you so desire,

There's a man that you can hire,

To plant trees so you can have shade on...

Verse 3:

CR: Easy Street,

I'm tellin' ev'ry one I meet,

GM: If I could live on Easy Street,

All: I wouldn't want no job today.

All: I live on Easy, Easy,

Easy, Easy, Stree-eet,

Instrumental break.

Chorus:

All: Whe-hen opportunity comes a-knockin',

Hell, I keep a-rockin',

'Cause you know your fortune's ma-ay-hade.

And any time you so desire,

CR: Get SR & GM: the man that you can hire,

All: To plant trees so you can have shade on...

Verse 3, repeated:

All: Easy Street,

I'm tellin' ev'ry one I meet,

If I could live on Easy Street,

I wouldn't want no job today.

So please, go 'way, go 'way.

Coda:

GM: Ooooo./
