Down In The Street Down in the street There's a gunshot warning Here comes that blue parade Ready to save the day Down in the street There's a whole block burning Shout out for rent control I ride the gang patrol Oh it's just another sign That summer's coming City wars and flash floods and tornados Festivals for rock and roll season Beach talk baseball and a handy household hymns Yes it's true in the U.S. of A. There's lots of room at the top Oh but you can't sit down On, no you can't sit down And don't you know that boudoir Looks just a ball and chain Oh but you can't sit down Oh, no you can't sit down All through the night You hear gunshot warnings This time it wasn't you The devil paid your dues All through the night You hear the city moaning Must be a tomcat prowling Baby, your stomach's growling Oh, it's just another sign That summer's coming, City wars and flash floods and tornados Festivals for rock and roll season Beach talk baseball and a handy household hymns Summertime... and the living is easy Tim Buckley Tim Buckley Music ASCAP Released 1974 Discreet/Warner Brothers - "Look at the Fool" Runnning time 3:20
