And we'll walk down the avenue again
   And we'll sing all the songs from way back when
   And we'll walk down the avenue again and the healing has begun
   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
  
   I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
   You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
   And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes when the healing has begun
  
   When you hear the music ringin' in your soul
   And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows
   And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun
   I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
   You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
   And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes and the healing has begun
  
   We're gonna make music underneath the stars
   We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars
   We're gonna sit there and play for hours and hours when the healing has begun
  
   Spoken: Wait a minute, listen, listen,
   I didn't know you stayed up so late.
   I just got home from a gig and I saw
   you standing on the street.
   Just let me move on up to this window-sill a lot yeah, I got some sherry.
   You want a drop of port.
   Let's move behind this door here.
   Let's move on up behind this letter-box behind this door.
   Let's go in your front room,
   let's play this Muddy Waters record you got there,
   if you just open up a little bit
   and let me ease on in this backstreet jellyroll....
  
   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
  
   When the healing, when the healing
   We're gonna stay out all night long
   We're gonna dance to the rock & roll
   When the healing when the healing has begun
   Baby just let me ease on a little bit, dig this backstreet jellyroll
