Annie the Musical - Easy Street Lyrics

(Music by Charles Strouse, Lyrics by Martin Charnin)

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 aces

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
Give you one guess

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!
