Lots of folks, keep to their kind
Don’t like those others hanging round
People ended up at our house
From all parts of town
. Ball game on the radio
. If you needed somewhere to go

Welcome to
DuShane Avenue
Glad you came
To DuShane Avenue
Laughing, talkin’ and bitchin’
Always something cooking in the kitchen
At DuShane
DuShane Avenue

While hatching plots and stirring pots
Mom put us kids to work as well
Odd jobs and hobbies like | model rocketry
Takes a village to launch some hell
. Neighbors who didn’t know what to think
. Dad brought ‘em over
. and fixed ‘em a drink

Welcome to
DuShane Avenue
Glad you came
To DuShane Avenue
Laughing, talkin’ and bitchin’
Always something cooking in the kitchen
At DuShane
DuShane Avenue

— People argue at the dinner table
— It gets passionate at time
— But no body gonna throw you out for
— Saying what’s on your mind

Preachers, teachers and city leaders
Drank their coffee and played their cards
Poets, painters, and a chopper pilot
Landed in our yard
. If the gumbo don’t get ya
. . . the bad jokes might
. Aren’t you glad you came over tonight?

Welcome to
DuShane Avenue
Glad you came
To DuShane Avenue
Laughing, talkin’ and bitchin’
Always something cooking in the kitchen
