Easy Street
Composer(s): Charles Strouse



[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
[Miss Hannigan]
You stack the ages
[Rooster]
You load the dice
[Miss 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
[Miss Hannigan]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Rooster And Miss Hannigan]
She'd repeat
Easy street
Better get there soon
[Rooster, Miss Hannigan, And Lily]
Easy street
Easy street
Where the rich folks play
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Move them feet
[Miss Hannigan]
Move them ever-lovin' feet
[Rooster, Miss Hannigan, And Lily]
To easy street
[Miss Hannigan]
Easy street
[Rooster, Miss 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
[Miss 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
[Miss Hannigan]
To gettin' more bucks
[Rooster]
Instead of less
Maybe we fix the game
With something shady
[Lily]
Where does that put us?
[Miss Hannigan]
Oh, tell her
[Rooster, Miss 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!
----------
Reprise

Annie is the Key
Yes siree, Yes siree!
Easy Street, we'll lead the lush life!
Easy Street
The lazy lush life!
Better Get There!
The crazy store in there!
We'll soon be goin' there!
Were you sleep till noon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh, that street
