Intro: (Piano) then Shuffle
We flew into town on Sunday
Had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport
Found a place we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue
Saugatuck River's flowin'
Mother Nature's colors were showin'
So cold so rainy
We couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time too many things to do
We met a young girl on Main St.
Wanted to just pass her by
She was homely so lonely she said
"Can I make love to you" we shouted
157 Riverside Avenue
Interlude:
It's over Miss Lena we're leaving
Such a pleasant stay I must say
So nice so easy
We hate to say goodbye to you at
157 Riverside Avenue
(Outro on )
