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
Hannigan:
You stack the aces
Rooster:
You load the dice
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
Hannigan:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Rooster and Hannigan:
She'd repeat
Easy street
Better get there soon.
Rooster, Hannigan, and Lily:
Easy street
Easy street
Where the rich folks play
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Move them feet
Hannigan:
Move them ever-lovin' feet
Rooster, Hannigan, and Lily:
To easy street
Hannigan:
Easy street
Rooster, 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
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
Hannigan:
To gettin' more bucks
Rooster:
Instead of less
Maybe we fix the game
With something shady
Lily:
Where does that put us?
Hannigan:
Oh, tell her.
Rooster:
If you want: yes!
Rooster, 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!
