My Street - Malvina Reynolds

My street is a friendly street

People say hello to the people they meet

People walk along with the happy feet

On my street, yes

Little kids, big kids, the women and men

Know you by your name and they knew you when

Know where you’re going and where you’ve been

On my street, yes

My street, my street

Kind of a modest and shy street

But we’re all together

And care for each other

On my street

My street is a neighborhood

Makes you feel as though you want to be good

Want to be liked and understood

On my street, yes

Come to my street and you will find

People are mostly the gentle kind

You’ll feel as tho you can rest your mind

On my street, yes

My street, my street

Kind of a modest and shy street

But we’re all together

And care for each other

On my street
