Easy Street Lyrics

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 ages 

 

 [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]

 Oh, tell her. 

 

 [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!

 Easy Street (Reprise) 

 

 [ROOSTER, LILY AND MISS HANNIGAN]

 Easy street, easy street

 Annie is the key

 Yes sirree, yes sirree, yes sirree

 

 Easy street, easy street 

 That's where we're gonna

 That's where we're gonna

 That's where we're gonna be.
