Easy street
Easy street
Where the rich folks play
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Move them feet
Callin’ out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
We like our fun and we never fight
You can’t dance and stay uptight
It’s a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Moonlight becomes you
It goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight on Vermont affected everybody
Even Mrs. Wooten well as Little Nitty
Even lifebuoy floatin’
With his lil’ pistol showin’
‘n his lil’ pistol totin’
Well that goes t’ show you what uh moon can do
We’ll lay back and observe the constellations
And watch the moon smilin’ bright
I’ll play the radio on southern stations
'Cause southern belles are hell at night
We can all thank Doctor be
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
'cause if you don’t I’m sure you won’t
Get to feeling right.
Anywhere, y’all,
Everywhere, y’all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
Heard it through the grapevine
I Heard It Through the Grapevine. Marvin Gaye
Well, I heard some people talkin’ just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you’ll soon find out it’s true
And then you’ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
All By Myself – Eric Carmen
The story of “Dr.” Brinkley is a fascinating one. (Coincidentally the song this verse contains is one of the answers in the Music Quiz.)
Back to the thread:
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It’s the loneliest number since the number one
Think I’ll roll another number for the road
I feel able to get under any load
Though my feet aren’t on the ground
I been standin’ on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin’ down
I got a peaceful easy feeling.
And I know you won’t let me down
'Cause I’m already standing on the ground.
Don’t you know I’m still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I’m still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I’m Still Standing. Elton John
What music quiz? And should the lyric then be “Doctor B”? I copied it from a lyrics site.
There’s pigeons down on Market Square
She’s standin’ in her underwear
Lookin’ down from a hotel room
The nightfall will be comin’ soon
Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes
You’ve got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit the last number, I walked to the road
Mary Jane’s Last Dance, Tom Petty
Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody’s waiting for me to arrive
Sending out the message to all of my friends
We’ll be looking flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lots of style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
You know I’m here for the party
And I ain’t leaving till they throw me out
Gonna have a fun gonna get me some
You know I’m here, I’m here for the party
First we’ll pick Priscilla up and then we’ll stop for Jane
And Mary Ellen needs a ride, we’re goin’ by her place
We’re goin’ to a party, our friends will all be there
I got the directions, it’s across the river somewhere
Over the river and through the woods
'Til Grandmother’s house we spy
Hoorah for the fun when the pudding’s done
Hoorah for the pumpkin pie
Ready or not here I come
Gee that used to be such fun
Apples peaches pumpkin pie
Who’s afraid to holler I?
