Charles Strouse - Easy Street lyrics

[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 [MISS HANNIGAN] You stack the aces [ROOSTER] You load the dice [MISS 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 [MISS HANNIGAN] Yeah, yeah, yeah [ROOSTER AND MISS HANNIGAN] She'd repeat Easy street Better get there soon [ROOSTER, MISS HANNIGAN, AND LILY] Easy street Easy street Where the rich folks play Yeah, yeah, yeah Move them feet [MISS HANNIGAN] Move them ever-lovin' feet [ROOSTER, MISS HANNIGAN, AND LILY] To easy street [MISS HANNIGAN] Easy street [ROOSTER, MISS 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 [MISS 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 [MISS HANNIGAN] To gettin' more bucks [ROOSTER] Instead of less Maybe we fix the game With something shady [LILY] Where does that put us? [MISS HANNIGAN] Give you one guess [ROOSTER, MISS 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!
