How Do I Get to Broad-Way Street?
I stopped and asked a sleazy fellow,
“How do I get to broad-way Street?”
He said with a smirk, as he spat, then grinned,
“Hold on one minute, as I drink from my Gin.”
From a brown paper sack, he unscrewed the lid,
Tilted his head, and took a big swig.
Wiping his chin, he said with a grin,
“Just go down easy-street- turn left and then,
You will see a crowd, their all going that way.”
There is doctors, dentist and door keepers,
Welders, widows, and window washers too.
Machinist, mechanics, musicians and men of renown
Young and old, the quiet, the bold.
From all walks of life we walked down easy street-
Then we turned left.”
