Lipbone Redding - Party on the Fire Escape Lyrics

There's a train
Rumbling by
Rolling through the Bronx
In the heat of the summertime
Fire hydrant down on the corner
You know the one right in front of Rosario's store
The kids laughing
Running through the water
It makes a rainbow
Against the parked cars
Mamita come to your window
We're gonna have a party on the fire escape
Mamita come to your window
We're gonna have a party on the fire escape
Lisa, Lisa
With the hair of gold
Lisa, Lisa
With the heart of stars
I said we're gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Come to your window
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
There's a musician on the 5th floor
He's in love the the Puerto Rican girl next door
Plays his guitar to a cassette tape
Then comes out in the evening on the fire escape
Clears his throat and he knows no shame
Then he plucks a few notes then he sings out her name
He sings out her name
Lisa, Lisa
With the hair of gold
Lisa, Lisa
With your heart of stars
We're gonna have a party on the fire escape
We're gonna have a party on the fire escape
So...
Come to your window
We're gonna have a party on the fire escape
Do you remember back when life was simple and good
Chillin' on the the steps of the block in the old neighborhood
Drinking rum and dancing till the morning
Music coming from around the corner
Oh, lets go back there again.
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
We're gonna have a party on the fire escape
Come to your window
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Lisa, Lisa
With the hair of gold
Lisa, Lisa
With the heart of stars
We're gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Come to your window
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Un Cielito Lindo!
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
Come to your window
Gonna have a party on the fire escape
