Lyrics of 'Easy Street' by Tim Curry

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
