Short Street Blues

Short Street Blues

Malcolm Holcombe

Текст песни

Gonna tell ya a tale 'bout livin' in a hell of a neighborhood next to town
Folks 'round here drink a lot of cheap wine and stay crazy most-a the time
People hangin' out on the corner wastin' my time an' bummin' my quarters
We ain’t gotta lot o' money it’s true, buyin' cigarettes a nickel for two
Me an' my baby, we both agree
I say, livin' on short street, ain’t our cup o' tea
(No!)
Honey make some coffee, pack up the boxes
Pick da pennies up off-a the floor
We ain’t livin' on short street anymore
You gotta keep things down after midnight and no tappin' yo foot on the floor
No mo' singin' them country songs o' the broomstick’ll bounce below
Rats moved in and we losin' out, the neighbors don’t care if we scream an' shout
(Scream)
Talkin' 'bout the rent is due, the hell with the short street blues
Me an' my baby, we both agree
I say, livin' on short street, ain’t our cup o' tea
(No!)
Honey make some coffee, pack up the boxes
Pick da pennies up off-a the floor
We ain’t livin' on short street anymore
(No!)
(Not all)
The bathroom’s out on the back porch, the front door’s just a rickety gate
Yard’s full o' them groundhog holes, an' the neighborhood jus' ain’t safe
But ev’rybody’s gotta do what they gotta do, ev’rybody gonna say what they
gonna say
I say, honey, the rent is due, the hell with the short street blues
Me an' my baby, we both agree
Say, livin' on short street, ain’t our cup o' tea
(No)
Honey, make some coffee, pack up the boxes
Pick da pennies up off-a the floor
We ain’t livin' on short street anymore
Me an' my baby, we both agree
Still livin' on short street, ain’t our cup o' tea (no, no)
Honey make some coffee, pack up the boxes
Pick da pennies up off-a the floor
We ain’t livin' on short street
Ain’t livin' on short street
I’d rather live on the street (Now)
We ain’t livin' on short street anymore
(Ha!)
