In My Tenement Songtext
von Jackie Shane

Clothes on the wash line never look new
Smokin′ herb try some green
Sun can't pass through the dirty window
But I kinda like it that way...

In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
At the top of the stairs (tenement, tenement, tenement)
In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
She′ll be waiting there (tenement, tenement, tenement)

In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
This poor boy is a king (tenement, tenement, tenement)
In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
She gives me everything (tenement, tenement, tenement)

Crumble of the subway passing by
Passes like a summer rain
I don't have nothing but a plain tap water
But I can never hear a complaint


In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
At the top of the stairs (tenement, tenement, tenement)
In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
She'll be waiting there (tenement, tenement, tenement)

In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
This poor boy is a king (tenement, tenement, tenement)
In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
She gives me everything (tenement, tenement, tenement)

Life is hard but we don′t lie
We got each other to claim to
She makes my life worthwhile with a smile
You know she makes my dreams come true

In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
At the top of the stairs (tenement, tenement, tenement)
In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
She′ll be waiting there (tenement, tenement, tenement)

In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
This poor boy is a king (tenement, tenement, tenement)
In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
She gives me everything (tenement, tenement, tenement)

Everything (tenement, tenement, tenement)
Give me everything (tenement, tenement, tenement)
In my tenement (tenement, tenement, tenement)
