Hall & Oates

Big proud toad on Lemon Road
Creature of the forest and the sea
Fifteen miles and a heavy load
Won't you keep me company? Yeah, yeah

If you've got the time
The animals are kind to you

Lemon Road, Lemon Road
Lemon Road, Lemon

Batman lives on Lemon Road
Keeper of the family
No one knows the way it goes, yeah
Seems to be a mystery

If you've got the time
The people will be kind to you

Lemon Road, Lemon Road
Lemon Road, Lemon

Oh, plow man, doctor man
Do it yourself man
(Living down on Lemon Road)
Marianne's crazy, Johnny come lately
(Living down on Lemon Road)

Oh, now listen, old man, rich son, big time schoolboy
(Living down on Lemon Road)
And there's a mailman, beetle man, plenty of policemen
(Living down on Lemon Road)

If you've got the time
The people will be kind
Thank you for your sympathy
Everything is fine now

Lemon Road, Lemon Road
Lemon Road, Lemon

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
