Easy street was sang by Miss Hannigan, Rooster Hannigan, and Lily St. Regis on their plan to kidnap Annie
Lyrics[]
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 gotta get there before you die
ROOSTER:
You don't get there
By playin' from the rule book
MISS HANNIGAN:
You stack the aces
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
MISS HANNIGAN AND ROOSTER:
She'd repeat
Easy street
Better get there soon.
MISS HANNIGAN, ROOSTER, 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
MISS HANNIGAN, ROOSTER, 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
LILY:
To gettin' more bucks
ROOSTER:
Instead of less
Maybe we fix the game
With something shady
LILY:
Where does that put us?
MISS HANNIGAN:
I'll give you one guess...
MISS HANNIGAN, ROOSTER, 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!
