Well, everybody knows
That it's time to go
Ain't no time to sleep
Well, I spent all day
Ridin' on that R.T.A.,
To get where we need to be
The few pennies I earned
Might keep some folks concerned
Oh but it ain't gonna bother me

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, everybody knows
That it's time to go
Ain't no time to sleep
Gotta get out in the street

[Chorus]
Always out in the street
Ain't no time to sleep, got people to meet
Always out in the street
Always out in the street

Once my feet
Hit the Rampart street
I'm where I need to be
Trumpets are hummin'
Snare drums are drummin'
Hear the rhythm of a tambourine
Oh, flambeaus blazin'
My flag boy raisin'
Livin' up [?] for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows
That it's time to go
Ain't no time to sleep
Gotta get out in the street

[Chorus]
Always out in the street
Ain't no time to sleep, got people to meet
Always out in the street
Always out in the street

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Always out in the street
Ain't no time to sleep, got people to meet
Always out in the street
Always out in the street

Always out in the street
Money I earn, in my pockets it burns
Always out in the street
Always out in the street
