When I was just a boy
A boy in corduroy
A boy so full of joy
And of the hoi polloi
I'm sorry if I'm starting to annoy you
Had a little house
With a little mouse
My mommy and a spouse
My sister wore a blouse
With a bucket full of water I could douse you
10102 East 7th Avenue
That's where I grew up to be a kid
10102 East 7th Avenue
Now let me tell you all the things we did
Hey, we played a lot of tag
Had marbles in a bag
Went fishin', got a snag
And puttin' up a flag
And I was just a little scallywag, yeah
We played a lot of games
I built a lot of frames
Got called a lot of names
And took a lot of blames
I'm lucky that my family still claims me
10102 East 7th Avenue
That's where I grew up to be a kid
10102 East 7th Avenue
Now let me tell you all the things we did
I went huntin' with my dog
I only caught a frog
And sittin' on a log
I read a catalog
And fallin' down and landin' on my noggin
Goin' to the mall
And climbin' on the wall
And growin' kinda tall
I played a lot of ball
And thinkin' when I sing it's caterwaulin'
10102 East 7th Avenue
That's where I grew up to be a kid
10102 East 7th Avenue
Now let me tell you all the things we did
But I think that I already did
Two, three
At 10102 East 7th Avenue
