It wasn’t fit for livin’ in But 106 Rivington Was where musicians got it in And some of ‘em even began Where drummers let loose on their drums A rat tat tat ba-*** *** *** From all over we would come To play and hear 'em play their drums
106 Rivington May not have been worth living in But was ideal for playin when We needed space to practice in
Like Birdland sadly it too is gone And sumthin’ ‘bout that feels so wrong Though memories no doubt will live on And we’ll just have to move along We can’t complain because it’s done We all had one hell-of-a-run Not to mention lots of fun Here’s to the setting of the sun
Some will lament others will morn A part of history is now gone But there will be another dawn And we will play another song
106 Rivington May not have been worth living in But was ideal for playin when We needed space to practice in
Given the low rent that we paid It was like being in one big parade At 106 friendships were made From the foundations that we laid But times moves on and so must we What the future holds we’ll havta see Guess we’ll just have to let it be Cos I don’t know so don’t ask me
Some will lament others will morn A part of history is now gone But we will play another song And there will be another dawn
106 Rivington May not have been worth living in But was ideal for playin when We needed space to practice in
