Easy Street
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 ages
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, 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!
