10102 East 7th Avenue

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
