Stranded On Easy Street Lyrics

(by Bruce R. Hornsby and John Hornsby)

  

 Well she was so fine

 On the first impression

 I was taken, taken in by the view

 With eyes so soft

 And a face so smooth

 I found her selling

 In a fashion booth

 All I said was,

 "Do you sell suits?"

 She said, "You're a scream

 and your accent's so cute"

 Her mother had to meet me

 It all sounded funny

 But then my friends told me,

 "Well, the girl's got money"

 

 It's alright, it's okay

 Hey, don't you worry about a thing

 You're the king today

 But there's a price you may pay

 If you take your seat in the royal suite

 You might get stranded on Easy Street

 

 Well, she said she was

 a good time girl

 Laughing, laughing a bit too loud

 Such a face

 The specialist creates

 She gets the benefit of the doubt

 I know that she wanted more than I could give

 But I just had to see how the other half lived

 She showed me her friends

 She showed me her throne

 I didn't sell my soul

 I just took out a loan

 

 It's alright, it's okay

 Hey, don't you worry about a thing

 You're the king today

 But there's a price you may pay

 If you take your seat in the royal suite

 You might get stranded on Easy Street

 

 She runs to mother

 The social x-ray star

 She put me at the wheel

 Of her father's new car

 She loved how her touch

 Made me want to drive farther

 She loved how her money meant

 She's tell me how far

 

 It's alright, it's okay

 Hey, don't you worry about a thing

 You're the king today

 But there's a price you may pay

 If you take your seat in the royal suite

 You might get stranded on Easy Street
