The Street Only Knew Your Name

[Verse 1]
Your street, rich street or poor
You should always be sure of your street
There's a place in your heart, when you know from the start
You can't be complete without a street

[Verse 2]
Keep movin' on, through the joy and the pain
Sometimes you gotta look back to the street again
Would you prefer all those castles in Spain
Or a view of the street from your window pane?

[Chorus]
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
And the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name, your name

[Verse 3]
There was Walter and Joy, Katie and Roy
Used to hang out 'round the corner lamplight
Get together sing some songs
Like "Boppin' the Blues" - you make me feel alright

[Verse 4]
That was long before fortune and fame
Nothing to lose and so much to gain
Everyone knew who everyone was
And they knew it because of the street

[Chorus]
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
When the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name, oh your name
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
When the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name

[Outro]
We were singing "Be Bop A Lula", "Who Slapped John?"
When the street only knew your name
