[Intro]
You know dis might look like a slum to some
They think it's the seamy side
But to me it's the dreamy side
The peach and creamy side

[Verse 1]
It's the wrong side of the railroad tracks
Shirts are never stuffed, gowns have backs
It's the neighborhood where folks could relax
Always be wondering what the other side be like

[Verse 2]
It's the wrong side of the railroad tracks
You ain't gotta worry about no income tax
The air's perfumed by chimney stacks
You always be wondering what the other side be like

[Bridge]
It ain't all upper crusty
Fact you might say looks a little rusty and dusty
People, we got to keep on surviving
Gotta take a lot of heart to put up with all this shucking and jiving

[Verse 3]
On the wrong side of the right-of-way
Social workers work and husbands play
We all go to the bed at the break of day
We'll always be wondering what the other side be like (Oh yeah, Bob)
