And we'll walk down the avenue in style
And we'll walk down the avenue and we'll smile
And we'll say baby ain't it all worthwhile
When the healing has begun

And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows
And it came from the backstreet rock and roll
And the healing has begun (That is where it comes from, man)

We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars
And we'll sit there playing for hours, for hours and hours
And hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours

And hours and hours and hours and hours
When the, when the healing has begun
[Interlude]
Wait a minute, listen, listen, listen
Listen, I didn't know you stayed up so late
Oh, you know, I just got home from a, from a gig
And I saw you standing on the street
Just let me move on up here to this windowsill a little bit here
Yeah, I got some, I could dig some sherry
Some, a, a drop of port
Yeah, why don't you come on in behind, behind this door here?
Oh, just move on up this uh, this letterbox
Why don't we just go in your front room and
Just sit down on the settee?
I'll just move on a little bit
Yeah, I gotta play this Muddy Waters record you, you got here
Now, if you just open up a little bit
And just let me come on in
You know some backstreet jellyroll
[Verse 7]
We're gonna stay out all night long
And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field
Baby, you know how I feel
When the healing has begun
[Outro]
When the healing, when the healing has begun
And the healing, and the healing has begun
We're gonna dance, we're gonna stay out all night long
We're gonna dance to the rock and roll
When the healing has begun
Oh baby, now you just let me ease on a little bit
Dig this backstreet jellyroll
And the healing, and the healing has begun
And, and the healing has begun
And the healing, and the healing
