Here comes old Rosie, she's lookin' mighty fine

Here comes hot Nancy, she's steppin' right on time

There goes the street light bringin' on the night

Here come the men, faces hidden from the light

All through the shadows

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, yeah, they go

With only one thing in common

We got the fire down below

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine

Here come the poor men, all you got to have is green

Here comes the banker, the lawyer and the cop

One thing for certain, it ain't never gonna stop

When it all gets too heavy

That's when they come and they go, yeah, they go

With only one thing in common

We got the fire down below

Well, it happens out in Vegas, happens in Moline

On the blue blood streets of Boston, up in Berkeley, out in Queens

And it went on yesterday, it's goin' on tonight

Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's lookin' out for Rosie, she's lookin' mighty fine

He's walkin' the streets for Nancy and he'll find her every time

And when the street lights will flicker bringin' on the night

They'll be slippin' into darkness, slippin' out of sight, yeah

All through the shadows

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, yeah, they go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below (Woah)

Yeah, it happens out in Vegas, happens in Moline

On the blue blood streets of Boston, up in Berkeley, out in Queens

And it went on yesterday, it's goin' on tonight

Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's lookin' out for Rosie, she's lookin' mighty fine

He's walkin' the streets for Nancy and he'll find her every time

And when the street lights will flicker bringin' on the night

They'll be slippin' into darkness, slippin' out of sight, yeah

All through the midnight

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, yeah, they go

With only one thing in common

We got the fire down below

Yeah, they got one thing in common

They got the fire down below

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Ah, hoo, hoo

Yeah, mercy
