Annie - Easy Street Songtexte

I remember the way
Our sainted mother
Would sit and croon us
Her lullaby


She'd say, kids, there's a place
That's like no other
You got to get there before you die


You don't get there
By playing from the rule book


You stack the aces


You load the dice


Mother dear
Oh, we know you're down there listening --
How can we follow
Your sweet
Advice
To


Easy street
Easy street
Where you sleep till noon


Yeah, yeah, yeah


She'd repeat
Easy street
Better get there soon.


Easy street
Easy street
Where the rich folks play
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Move them feet


Move them ever-lovin' feet


To easy street


Easy street


When you get there stay


It ain't fair
How we scrounge
For three of four bucks
While she gets
Warbucks


The little brat!
It ain't fair this here life
Is drivin' me nuts!
While we get peanuts
She's livin' fat!


Maybe she holds the key
That little lady


To gettin' more bucks


Instead of less
Maybe we fix the game
With something shady


Where does that put us?


Oh, tell her.


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!
