oh oh oh oh oh
|
|
penny pitching on the walk
|
waiting for the bus to arrive
|
me and Davy playing sport
|
watching for the cops to go by
|
|
spider man and the human torch
|
they cover Barney's newsstand
|
morning crowds start to gather round
|
fast finger steals what he can
|
|
morning leaves for the afternoon
|
the boys show up on time
|
in the streets near the people's store
|
below the electrical sign
|
|
catch a glimpse of a passing car
|
raced and ready to drag
|
then the skirts start to tantalize
|
the boys how they boast and they brag
|
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
|
where has he gone?
|
a memory at dawn
|
you're just a bit of the past
|

|
|
oh oh oh oh
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
|
me and Davy gazing back
|
see ourselves as we were
|
how we laugh when we think of things
|
that we did yesteryear
|
|
I can see Charlie on the porch
|
Johnny clicking his sticks
|
and two boys I don't even know
|
rehearsing electric string tricks
|
ya ya ya ya ya ya
|
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
|
oh the earl of Roseland
