Lyrics[]
Easy Street
I'd like to live on easy street
Nothing to do on easy street
Just lie around all day
Just sit and play their heart away
Life is sweet
For those who live on easy street
No weekly payments, you are sweet
That makes your hair turn grey
When opportunity comes a-knocking
You just keep right on and rocking
'Cause you got your [heart to amend]
And when the sun makes you feel tired
There's a man that you can hire
To plant trees so you can have shade
On easy street
I'm telling everyone I know
If I could live on easy street
I'd want to jog today
So please go away
