Walking Down The Street

Sometimes I’m walking down the street
& everybody looks familiar
Sometimes I’m walking down the street
& everybody looks strange or a little bit crazy
When I’m walking down the street
All I need to remember
Is to just keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Walking down the street

Sometimes I’m walking down the street
And it seems like a miracle
That everybody’s got a name
And they got a destination
Sometimes I wish I had a bicycle
Or that I was as tall as Shaquille O’Neal
I could see for mile and miles and miles
When I’m walking down the street

Sometimes I’m walking down the street
Everything I see, man I wanna take a bite
Sometimes I’m walkin down the street
I could walk all night

The sidewalks sing
Like Thelonius Monk
The trees bopping up and down
Like a Jersey punk
The buildings dance
To a hippety-hop beat
Sometimes I want to shout, hey-o
When I’m walking down the street

Walking down the street

Sometimes I’m walking down the street
I want to know everybody
Wanna talk to everybody
Paint your face & hear a story
I could make it all over
But I ain’t gonna cheat
But you gotta say, hey hey
When you’re walking down the street

Walking down the street
