Easy Street! If I could live on Easy Street,
Nobody works on Easy Street.  Just sit around all day!

Life is sweet, for folks who live on Easy Street
No weekly payments you must meet that make your hair turn gray.

When opportunity comes knocking, you just keep on with your rocking,
'Cos you know that your fortunes made,
And any time that you desire, there's a man that you can hire
To plant trees so you can have some shade!

Oh Easy Street, I'm telling every one I meet
If I could live on Easy Street.  I wouldn't want no job today,  So please go away!
