Текст песни: 157 Riverside Avenue + перевод

Oh yeah

Alright, people, climb aboard

Let’s take a ride down Riverside Avenue, 157

Alright, here we go!

We flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday

Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do

157 Riverside Avenue, yeah

Well, the Saugatuck River’s flowin', Mother Nature’s colors are showin'

So cold, so rainy, we couldn’t help feelin' blue

Not enough time and too many things to do

(So we just sat there and played some)

Well, we met a young girl on Main Street, wanted to pass her by

She was homely, but we were lonely, she said, «Can I make love to you?»

I said, «157 Riverside Avenue»

(And she talked like a guitar, she said)

(Ooh, a fast-talkin' woman)

Well, it’s over, Miss Lena, we’re leaving. Such a pleasant stay, I must say

So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you

At 157 Riverside Avenue, yeah

Whoo, yeah

That bass sound good to me

That’s Regis on the bass guitar

Alright, but let me tell you

Let me tell you 'bout something here

Every once in a while

Within rock and roll bands, you see

There are little lacks of communication

You know what I’m talkin' 'bout?

No? Well, let me tell you

Let me tell you

You see, Gary, he plays the guitar

Myself, I sing, you see

So sometimes there’s a little gap in between there

Let me give you an example

Let me give you an example

Just the other day, you probably remember it well

It was just the other day, you remember that?

Just the other day, I swear to God, people, just the other day

I called Gary up on the telephone, you see

And he picked up the phone, he said

(Lead guitar solo)

Shit

So I tell you, I gotta be truthful, you took me a little bit by surprise

So I had to think a bit, I sat back

I thought about it

And I said

(Scatting by Kevin Cronin)

(Lead guitar response)

Oh, come on, come on, come on, now, people

Talk to me on time

Talk to me with your hands

Said a-one

Said a-two

Said a-one, two

A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four
