The old man sits wonders just what can he do He's live here in the neighborhood since 1922 He's forced to leave his home to make way for their plans And he knows that they don't care or give a damn
So he takes a stroll down Monto what's left of it today Remembering his childhood and the games he used to play Now all he's got are memories and they are but a few And it seems the money grabbers want them too
Chorus: And living in a one room slum ain't easy Raising seven children on the dole No place for kids to play while you build your motor way Is Loughlin house the playground of today?

Chorus: And living in a one room slum ain't easy Raising seven children on the dole No place for kids to play while you build your motor way Is Loughlin house the playground of today?
