Here's where I heard that beat
Here's where I tapped that tap
With my natural rhythm feet
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street
Here's where the dreams I had
Were crowded on a stoop
Were pecked and pushed and hustled
Just like chickens in a coop
Life wasn't always neat
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street
Here's where I learned the rules
Of Rosie's way
Of how to play
A magic game
That changed the same
Old sheepy bleat
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street
Here's where I made up folks
Who came to visit me
Not just ordinary folks
Coming unexpectedly
TALENT SCOUTS! PRODUCERS! DIRECTORS!
GLAMOUR BOYS!
In other words
THE HOY-POLOYS!
THE GRAND ELITE!
To make them green with envy
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street
Here's where it all began
Here's where I heard that tune
Here's where I sang of sailing
In a carnival balloon
Life was so darn sweet
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street
Here's where it all began Here's where I heard that beat Here's where I tapped that tap With my natural rhythm feet In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street Here's where the dreams I had Were crowded on a stoop Were pecked and pushed and hustled Just like chickens in a coop Life wasn't always neat In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street Here's where I learned the rules Of Rosie's way Of how to play A magic game That changed the same Old sheepy bleat In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street Here's where I made up folks Who came to visit me Not just ordinary folks Coming unexpectedly TALENT SCOUTS! PRODUCERS! DIRECTORS! GLAMOUR BOYS! In other words THE HOY-POLOYS! THE GRAND ELITE! To make them green with envy In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street Here's where it all began Here's where I heard that tune Here's where I sang of sailing In a carnival balloon Life was so darn sweet In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street Explain Request ×
