7. Earl of Roseland (4:39)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Penny pitching on the walk
Waiting for the bus to arrive
Me and Davy playing sport
Watching for the cops to go by
Spider man and the human torch
They cover Barney's newsstand
Morning crowds start to gather round
Fast finger steals what he can
Morning leaves for the afternoon
The boys show up on time
In the streets near the people's store
Below the electrical sign
Catch a glimpse of a passing car
Raced and ready to drag
Then the skirts start to tantalize
The boys how they boast and they brag
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Where has he gone?
A memory at dawn
You're just a bit of the past
Oh oh oh oh
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Me and Davy gazing back
See ourselves as we were
How we laugh when we think of things
That we did yesteryear
I can see Charlie on the porch
Johnny clicking his sticks
And two boys I don't even know
Rehearsing electric string tricks
Ya ya ya ya ya ya
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Penny pitching on the walk
Waiting for the bus to arrive
Me and Davy playing sport
Watching for the cops to go by
Spider man and the human torch
They cover Barney's newsstand
Morning crowds start to gather round
Fast finger steals what he can
Morning leaves for the afternoon
The boys show up on time
In the streets near the people's store
Below the electrical sign
Catch a glimpse of a passing car
Raced and ready to drag
Then the skirts start to tantalize
The boys how they boast and they brag
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Where has he gone?
A memory at dawn
You're just a bit of the past
Oh oh oh oh
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Me and Davy gazing back
See ourselves as we were
How we laugh when we think of things
That we did yesteryear
I can see Charlie on the porch
Johnny clicking his sticks
And two boys I don't even know
Rehearsing electric string tricks
Ya ya ya ya ya ya
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
Oh the earl of Roseland
