And we'll walk down the avenue again

And we'll sing all the songs from way back when

And we'll walk down the avenue again and the healing has begun

And we'll walk down the avenue in style

And we'll walk down the avenue and we'll smile

And we'll say baby ain't it all worthwhile when the healing has begun



I want you to put on your pretty summer dress

You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest

And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes when the healing has begun



When you hear the music ringin' in your soul

And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows

And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress

You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest

And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes and the healing has begun



We're gonna make music underneath the stars

We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars

We're gonna sit there and play for hours and hours when the healing has begun



Spoken: Wait a minute, listen, listen,

I didn't know you stayed up so late.

I just got home from a gig and I saw

you standing on the street.

Just let me move on up to this window-sill a lot yeah, I got some sherry.

You want a drop of port.

Let's move behind this door here.

Let's move on up behind this letter-box behind this door.

Let's go in your front room,

let's play this Muddy Waters record you got there,

if you just open up a little bit

and let me ease on in this backstreet jellyroll....



We're gonna stay out all night long

And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field

Baby you know how I feel when the healing has begun



When the healing, when the healing

We're gonna stay out all night long

We're gonna dance to the rock & roll

When the healing when the healing has begun

Baby just let me ease on a little bit, dig this backstreet jellyroll
