Me and Pooch we were from the west end of town

And all the kids on the streets used to hang at the corner playground

There was Billy and Bobby and Rikki the Knife

And the girl I swear I'd love till the day I died

In the summers outta school you knew just what to do



On 10th Street

There's no school like my old school

On 10th Street

There's no food like the greasy spoon

On 10th Street

There's no bar like Crazy Lou's

On 10th Street

I wish that I could go back home



I didn't want to be your whipping post

But I pledge my love to the girl I love the most

And old pal Bonio he was straining his neck

I guess you got a little lovin' but you lost your respect

Yeah me and Pooch we were laughin'

Yeah we always had a ball



On 10th Street

Life was so simple then

On 10th Street

I miss all my good old friends

On 10th Street

Give me a house with a picket fence

On 10th Street

That's my America



But now they put up a parking lot

They made the people all get out

Damn the man with a plan to put an end

I said damn the man with a plan to put an end to

10th Street



On 10th Street

Life was so simple then

On 10th Street

I miss all my good old friends

On 10th Street

Give me a house with a picket fence

On 10th Street

That's my America



God Bless America

God Bless America Yeah

On 10th Street

God Bless America
