Artist/Band: June Christy
Lyrics for Song: Easy Street
Lyrics for Album: Jazz Foundations Vol. 48 [2010]



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 ages

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 soon.



Easy street

Easy street

Where the rich folks play

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Move them feet



Move them ever-lovin' feet

To easy street

Easy street

When you get there stay



It ain't fair

How we scrounge

For three of four bucks

While she gets

Warbucks



The little brat!

It ain't fair this here life

Is drivin' me nuts!

While we get peanuts

She's livin' fat!



Maybe she holds the key

That little lady



To gettin' more bucks



Instead of less

Maybe we fix the game

With something shady



Where does that put us?

Oh, tell her.

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!
