Streets of Gold Lyrics
Ooh, yeah
Now listen up
You’ve got a lot to learn
And if you don’t learn, you don’t eat
But if you’re tough
And always use your head,
You’ll feel right at home on the street
When you’ve got talent, everything is free
Watch how we do things, ooh, I guarantee
You’re gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive
If you do just as you’re told
These are streets of gold
Every boulevard is a miracle mile
You’ll take the town and you’ll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold
To live from week to week
You need technique
So you practice everyday
The only rule is
Thou shalt not get caught
Get what you can and then get away
Remember all the places you can hide
Remember we are always on your side
You’re gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive
If you do just as you’re told
These are streets of gold
Every boulevard is a miracle mile
You’ll take the town and you’ll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold
When you’ve got talent, everything is free
Watch how we do things, ooh, I guarantee
You’re gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive
If you do just as you’re told,
These are streets of gold
Every boulevard is a miracle mile
You’ll take the town and you’ll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold,
These are streets of gold
