East Hastings Street

This is my town

this is my street

a place where wild creatures meet

just looking for a special treat

or a tasty bite to eat

any time of day or night

life can be so sweet

don't need to have on shoes that shine

or dressed to kill

blue jeans are fine

a jungle filled with lively winos

a Merry march

while feeling fine-o

take a stroll in old Vancouver

East Hastings is my home

East Hastings that is my home

it's deep in me

wherever I may roam

you can take this boy into the city

don't want for much

that's looking far too pretty

just want to party with my boys

hit it hard with old Pink Floyd

hard rocking

with wine women and song

on East Hastings you just

can't go wrong

it's three o'clock

at the evening starts

grab my girl

and head to Stanley Park

we will make sweet love

on a park bench

all night

good rocking till

the morning light

a policeman shines his light

on us

me says officer

just what's the fuss

just want to see

that you kids are safe

and shouldn't you be

in some other place?

so I let him know

this town is home

but there's a special place

I like to roam

East Hastings

I'll come back to you

at the crack of dawn

I always do!

East Hastings that is my favorite street

it's always calling me

her voice so bittersweet

my throbbing head

beholds that morning's

early light

it does me wrong sometimes

it does me right

East Hastings is the place

that's home

its in my blood

its in my bones

don't need no uptown charm

or women who dress

too pretty

East Hastings

you're the

real

city!
