Easy street, I'd love to live on easy street Nobody works on easy street Just lie around all day, just sit and play the horses Life is sweet for folks who live on easy street No weekly payments you must meet That makes your hair turn gray When opportunity comes knockin' You just keep on with your rockin' 'Cause you know your fortune's made And if the sun makes you perspire There's a man that you can hire To plant trees so you can have shade On easy street, I'm telling everyone I meet If I could live on easy street I'd want no job today So please, go 'way
