My Simple Humble Neighborhood Lyrics
Here`s where it all began
Here`s where I heard that beat
Here`s where I tapped that tap
With my natural rhythm feet
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here`s where the dreams I had
Were crowded on a stoop
Were pecked and pushed and hustled
Just like chickens in a coop
Life wasn`t always neat
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here`s where I learned the rules
Of Rosie`s way
Of how to play
A magic game
That changed the same
Old sheepy bleat
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here`s where I made up folks
Who came to visit me
Not just ordinary folks
Coming unexpectedly

TALENT SCOUTS! PRODUCERS! DIRECTORS!
GLAMOUR BOYS!

In other words
THE HOY-POLOYS!
THE GRAND ELITE!

To make them green with envy
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here`s where it all began
Here`s where I heard that tune
Here`s where I sang of sailing
In a carnival balloon
Life was so darn sweet
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street
