Coolin On The Block

Yeah,

yeah Summer in the city Let the radio play

We’re right here tonight

Posted on the stoop,

let the old song play Sun going down on another hot day

Dice on the concrete,

voices in the air Everybody gathered,

everybody there Corner store shining,

cold drink in my hand White tee glowing like a flag in

the sand Water in the street,

kids running free That’s the kind of summer that stays with me

We’re just

coolin’ on the block tonight

Underneath the streetlight glow

Let the whole world fade away There’s nowhere else we need to

go

Coolin’ on the block tonight (cooling tonight) Hear the boom box sing

real slow From the corner store to the court This is home,

and this is all we know

Train rolls by, but the music stays Dominoes falling in a sweet

cascade Bus on the corner,

takeout open late

Somebody’s laughing by the fire escape

Girls on the steps and the fellas talk

Somebody starts singing while we sidewalk walk Every little story,

every face I see Feels like the whole world made room for

me

We’re just

coolin’ on the block tonight

Underneath the streetlight glow

Let the whole world fade away There’s nowhere else we need to

go

Coolin’ on the block tonight (yeah we cooling) Hear the boom box

sing real slow From the corner store to the court This is

home, and

this is all we know

Yeah, this is home Let the record roll

Summer in the city

We’re still

here

Peace
