Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Streetlife serenader
Never sang on stages
Needs no orchestration
Melody comes easy
[Verse 2]
Midnight masquerader
Shoppin' center heroes, yeah
Child of Eisenhower
New world celebrator
[Verse 3]
Streetlife serenaders
Have such understanding
How the words are spoken
How to make the motions
[Verse 4]
Streetlife serenaders
Have no obligations
Hold no grand illusions
Need no stimulation
[Verse 5]
Midnight masqueraders
Workin' hard for wages
Need no vast arrangement
To do their harmonizing
Written by: Billy Joel
