Me and Pooch we were from the west end of town And all the kids on the streets used to hang at the corner playground There was Billy and Bobby and Rikki the Knife And the girl I swear I'd love till the day I died In the summers outta school you knew just what to do
On 10th Street There's no school like my old school On 10th Street There's no food like the greasy spoon On 10th Street There's no bar like Crazy Lou's On 10th Street I wish that I could go back home
I didn't want to be your whipping post But I pledge my love to the girl I love the most And old pal Bonio he was straining his neck I guess you got a little lovin' but you lost your respect Yeah me and Pooch we were laughin' Yeah we always had a ball
On 10th Street Life was so simple then On 10th Street I miss all my good old friends On 10th Street Give me a house with a picket fence On 10th Street That's my America
But now they put up a parking lot They made the people all get out Damn the man with a plan to put an end I said damn the man with a plan to put an end to 10th Street
On 10th Street Life was so simple then On 10th Street I miss all my good old friends On 10th Street Give me a house with a picket fence On 10th Street That's my America
God Bless America God Bless America Yeah On 10th Street God Bless America
