I re mem ber the way our saint ed moth er would sit and croon us her lull a by,
she’d say, “Kids, there’s a place that’s like no oth er you got ta get there be fore you die.
You don’t get there by play in’ from the rule book, you stack the a ces you load the dice!”
Moth er dear, oh I know you’re Down There lis t’nin’ we’re gon na fol low your sweet ad vice
to
Eas
y Street!
Eas y Street!
Where you sleep ’til noon,
(yeah, yeah, yeah!)
She’d re peat
t’ Eas y Street
bet ter get there soon.
You don’t get there by play in’ from the rule book, you stack the a ces you load the dice!”
Moth er dear, oh I know you’re Down There lis t’nin’ we’re gon na fol low your sweet ad vice
to
Eas
y Street!
Eas y Street!
Where the rich folk play
(play all day!)
Move them feet
t’ Eas y Street
when you get there soon.
You don’t get

This page shows “Easy Street (From Annie)” by Charles Strouse in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 84 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
