You can Skidmore East or Skidmore West
In either direction you decide what’s best
It’s all part of the Alameda heart of town
That’s called... the Skidmore Up and Down
Breezin’ through the avenue’s
Checkin’ out home after home
Most of em’ been
Around these blocks
Long before this boy was born
Is that my Taxi blowin’ his horn?
Keep your shirt on Pappy
I’ll be there lickiddee-split
I got a date and can’t be late
Here’s my guitar daddy let’s git!
You can Skidmore East or Skidmore West
In either direction you decide what’s best
It’s all part of the Alameda heart of town
That’s called... the Skidmore Up and Down
There’s this new gate off of 22nd
Built by a friend of mine
Dang, groovy, beautiful man!
Can’t tell if it’s redwood, cedar or pine
But look at Howard’s craftsmanship
‘tis really finer than fine
Into the courtyard
Latchin’ the latch
I‘m feelin’ the music bloom
You see Rich and Jim
Have this incredible place
Where happiness perfumes the room
Tell me how’d we get so lucky - to find such an awesome space
Let’s give ‘em somethin’ to sing about... before it’s time to go
You can Skidmore East or Skidmore West
In either direction you decide what’s best
It’s all part of the Alameda heart of town
That’s called... the Skidmore Up and Down
