Easy Street

Easy Street - June Christy

Written by：Alan Rankin Jones

I'm tired of having an aching back

I'm gonna move to a little green shade

On easy street

I'd love to live on easy street

Nobody works on easy street

Just sit around all day

Just sit around and play the horses

Life is sweet for folks

Who live on easy street

No weekly payments you must meet

That makes your hair turn gray

When opportunity comes knocking

You just keep on with your rocking

Cause you know your fortune's made

And anytime you saw a desire

There's a man that you can hire

To plant trees so you can have shade

On easy street

I'm telling everyone that I meet

If I could live on easy street

I would want no job today

So please go away

When opportunity comes knocking

You just keep on a rocking

Cause you know your fortune's made

And anytime you saw a desire

There's a man that you can hire

To plant trees so you can have shade

On easy street

I'm telling everyone that I meet

If I could live on easy street

I would want no job today

So please go away

Now if you got some work

I'm afraid I'm bound to shirk

Cause I don't want no work today
