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

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
