My Simple Humble Neighborhood Lyrics - Really Rosie - Carole King

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 

Here's where I made up folks 

Who came to visit me 

Not just ordinary folks 

Coming unexpectedly 

TALENT SCOUTS! PRODUCERS! DIRECTORS! 

GLAMOUR 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
