[ Featuring Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry ]
[ROOSTER]
I remember the way
Our sainted mother
Would sit and croon us
Her lullaby
[MISS HANNIGAN]
She'd say, kids, there's a place
That's like no other
You got to get there before you die
[ROOSTER]
You don't get there
By playing from the rule book
[MISS HANNIGAN]
You stack the ages
[ROOSTER]
You load the dice
[MISS HANNIGAN AND ROOSTER]
Mother dear
Oh, we know you're down there listening --
How can we follow
Your sweet
Advice
To
[ROOSTER]
Easy street
Easy street
Where you sleep till noon
[MISS HANNIGAN]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[ROOSTER AND MISS HANNIGAN]
She'd repeat
Easy street
Better get there soon.
[ROOSTER, MISS HANNIGAN, AND LILY]
Easy street
Easy street
Where the rich folks play
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Move them feet
[MISS HANNIGAN]
Move them ever-lovin' feet
[ROOSTER, MISS HANNIGAN, AND LILY]
To easy street
[MISS HANNIGAN]
Easy street
[ROOSTER, MISS HANNIGAN, AND LILY]
When you get there stay
[ROOSTER]
It ain't fair
How we scrounge
For three of four bucks
While she gets
Warbucks
[MISS HANNIGAN]
The little brat!
It ain't fair this here life
Is drivin' me nuts!
While we get peanuts
She's livin' fat!
[ROOSTER]
Maybe she holds the key
That little lady
[MISS HANNIGAN]
To gettin' more bucks
[ROOSTER]
Instead of less
Maybe we fix the game
With something shady
[LILY]
Where does that put us?
[MISS HANNIGAN]
Oh, tell her.
[ROOSTER, MISS HANNIGAN, AND LILY]
Yes!
Easy street
Easy street
Annie is the key
Yes sirree
Yes sirree
Yes sirree
Easy street
Easy street
That's where we're gonna --
Be!
