Oh yeah
Alright, people, climb aboard
Let's take a ride down Riverside Avenue, 157
Alright, here we go!
ย
Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue
Well the Saugatuck River's flowin', Mother nature's colors were showin'
So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do
So we just sat there and played some
ย
Well we met a young girl on Main Street, wanted to pass her by
She was homely, but we were lonely
She said, "Can I make love to you?"
I said, "157 Riverside Avenue"
And she talked on the guitar, she said
She was a fast-talkin' woman
ย
Well it's over, Miss Lena, we're leavin'
Such a pleasant stay, I must say
So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 Riverside Avenue
ย
Whoo, yeah
That bass sound good to me
That's Regis on the bass guitar
Alright, but let me tell you
Let me tell you 'bout something here
Every once in a while
Within rock and roll bands, you see
There are little lacks of communication
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
No? Well, let me tell you
Let me tell you
You see, Gary, he plays the guitar
Myself, I sing, you see
So sometimes there's a little gap in between there
Let me give you an example, let me give you an example
Just the other day, you probably remember it well
It was just the other day, you remember that?
Just the other day, I swear to God, people, just the other day
I called Gary up on the telephone, you see
And he picked up the phone, he said
ย
Shit
So I tell you, I gotta be truthful, you took me a little bit by surprise
So I had to sit, I had to think a minute, I sat back
I thought about it
And I said
ย
Oh, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now people
Talk to me one time, talk to me with your hands
Said a-one, said a-two, said a-one, two
A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four
