Folk - Country - Jazz - Pop
A broad range of genres and production values - from studio work to raw live performances on acoustic instruments back in the days of killer tape hiss. (All were produced as song demos vs artist demos.) IF YOU'RE A LYRIC FAN, click on the "full" or "full song info" line and play the songs from there. That way you can read the lyrics at the bottom of the page as the song plays. I am guilty of all the words, music, arrangements, production, and male vocals. Fortunately, for both you AND me, friends handled the female vocals. (Thanks Leanne, Bodra, Dianne, & Roxanne!) See ya out there!

Lyrics
MEAN STREAK Mean-lookin' alley down at Broadway and Main Been there before and she'll be back there again She's not a hooker, she's just lookin' for fun She carries money and she carries a gun It's Broadway Betty with the sweet-lookin' eyes Better be ready boys, it's just a disguise She got a mean streak Oooo, she got a mean streak Mean streak, mean streak Broadway Betty Mean streak, mean streak That Broadway Betty She's got some lovin', "A-Number One" But you don't walk away You run, run, run, run M-m-m-m-mean streak Betty, Broadway Betty Somebody told me that she used to be shy She wouldn't even look a man in the eyes And then some guy called Eddie taught her to play Stole all her money and he'd cheat every day When they found Eddie he was missin' some parts Couldn't prove it but they noticed the start Of Betty's mean streak Oh, she got a mean streak Mean streak, mean streak Broadway Betty Mean streak, mean streak That Broadway Betty She's got some lovin', "A-Number One" But you don't walk away You run, run, run, run M-m-m-m-mean streak Betty, Broadway Betty When I met Betty I was singin' the blues I wasn't really in a romantic mood One hour later I was under her spell She promised heaven so I said "Might as well" She took me home and showed me all of her games Start out with pleasure but they end up with pain She got a mean streak Whoa, she got a mean streak Mean streak, mean streak Broadway Betty Mean streak, mean streak That Broadway Betty She's got some lovin', "A-Number One" But you don't walk away You run, run, run, run M-m-m-m-mean streak Betty, Broadway Betty ?1986 Van Clayton Powel
