I'm down looking for upness
The cold watching for heat
There's a trick go fill his cupness
That's life on Rosacoke Street
Some girls they are a-selllin'
Till they get back on their feet
But Lee he ain't a-tellin'
Ahh that's life on Rosacoke Street
Hmm hmm
Some fuzz laying for hours
He's ripped from head till feet
His wife they will send some flowers
Ahh that's life on Rosacoke Street
Some hype looks for his mother
Some swish walks on his beat
Somehow they care for eachother
Ahh that's life on Rosacoke Street
That's life on Rosacoke Street
You tell 'em the rest
