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
