[Verse 1]
Satisfaction guaranteed
Getting everything you need?
Hand delivered, quite discreet
'Cause you're on Easy Street

Any place, uh, you wanna go
We'll call ahead, let 'em know
Get you in through the back door but you get a front row seat
'Cause you're on Easy Street

[Bridge]
All your old friends, I know you love 'em so
This gonna break your heart but you're gonna have to let them go
Your friends up here must be the elite
You'll like everyone you meet

[Verse 3]
On Easy Street
Life is sweet
Accommodations can't be beat
On Easy Street

[Verse 4]
Easy Street
Here's your seat
Watch the world roll by at your feet
Don't look down, that's it
