My Simple Humble Neighborhood Lyrics

Here's where it all began Here's where I heard that beat Here's where I tapped that tap With my natural rhythm feet In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street
Here's where the dreams I had Were crowded on a stoop Were pecked and pushed and hustled Just like chickens in a coop
Life wasn't always neat In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street
Here's where I learned the rules Of Rosie's way of how to play A magic game that changed the same Old sheepy bleat In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/my-simple-humble-neighborhood-lyrics-carole-king.html ] Here's where I made up folks Who came to visit me Not just ordinary folks Coming unexpectedly
Talent scouts, producers, directors Glamor boys
In other words The hoy-poloys The grand elite
To make them green with envy In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street
Here's where it all began Here's where I heard that tune Here's where I sang of sailing In a carnival balloon, life was so darn sweet In my simple humble neighborhood On my simple humble street
