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 playin'
from the rule book
You stack the aces
You load the dice
Mother dear
Oh we know you're
down there listenin'
How can we follow
your sweet advice
to
Easy street
Easy street
Where you sleep 'til 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
to easy street
When you get there stay
It ain't fair how we scrounge
for three of four bucks
While she gets Warbucks
Ah 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
Give you one guess
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
