Various - Easy Street lyrics

rate me

Rooster

I remember the way

Our sainted mother

Would sit and croon us

Her lullaby

Miss Hannigan

She'd say, kids, there's a place

That's like no other

You got to get there before you die

Rooster

You don't get there

By playing from the rule book

Hannigan

You stack the ages

Rooster

You load the dice

Hannigan and Rooster

Mother dear

Oh, we know you're down there listening --

How can we follow

Your sweet Advice

To

Rooster

Easy street

Easy street

Where you sleep till noon

Hannigan

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Rooster and Hannigan

She'd repeat

Easy street

Better get there soon.

Rooster, Hannigan, and Lily

Easy street

Easy street

Where the rich folks play

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Move them feet

Hannigan

Move them ever-lovin' feet

Rooster, Hannigan, and Lily

To easy street

Hannigan

Easy street

Rooster, Hannigan, and Lily

When you get there stay

Rooster

It ain't fair

How we scrounge

For three of four bucks

While she gets Warbucks

Hannigan

The little brat!

It ain't fair this here life

Is drivin' me nuts!

While we get peanuts

She's livin' fat!

Rooster

Maybe she holds the key

That little lady

Hannigan

To gettin' more bucks

Rooster

Instead of less

Maybe we fix the game

With something shady

Lily

Where does that put us?

Hannigan

Oh, tell her.

Rooster, Hannigan, and Lily

Yes!

Easy street

Easy street

Annie is the key

Yes sirree

Yes sirree

Yes sirree

Easy street

Easy street

That's where we're gonna --!

Be!
