[Intro] Oh yeah Alright, people, climb aboard Let's take a ride down Riverside Avenue, 157 Alright, here we go! [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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) [Verse 3] 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) [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] 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
