Easy Street

Easy Street - June Christy

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

Nothing to do 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 knockin'

You just keep ride on your rockin'

'Cause you know your fortune's made

And if the sun makes you perspire

There's a guy 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 knockin'

You just keep ride on a rockin'

'Cause you know your fortune's made

And if the sun makes you perspire

There's a guy 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

Don't you mind if I shirk

'Cause I don't want no job today
