The "3218 Davenport Street" Song
Joan D. Levin Copyright 1995
To Tune of "Memories" from Cats
This is about our house in Washington, D.C.
where we lived from 1979 - 1995. Terri Robinson was the Real Estate Agent for buying and selling.
____________
See There! Why, it's Terri's for Sale Sign!
Out in front of a fine house, that you surely should buy!
It's a red brick colonial with a slate shingle roof;
And the price is not too high!
Eight rooms, with four bedrooms and bathrooms,
Plus a sunroom and basement where the kids can have fun,
On a nice street, with trees and grass and parking galore,
And with lots of light and sun.
---------------------------------------------
Lots of room to dig a pool or throw a huge garden party,
Your friends will drool, they'll all say you're cool,
And you'll feel like such a smarty!
---------------
Rock Creek, nicely graces your doorstep,
Bus and Metro only footsteps away!
With great shopping this is the best location in town,
Write that contract! Don't delay!
---------------------------------------------
Write that contract, don't be doubtful,
Now is no time for stalling.
Someone else will snap it up, while interest rates are falling!
-------------------------------------------
Buy it! You will never regret it!
Don't be shy now, give the agent a ring!
When you're living on Davenport, you've really arrived!
You'll be living, like a king!
---------------------------------------------
Thirty, two eighteen on Davenport,
Sign these papers, and you'll move in today!
When you own it you'll understand what happiness is!
Don't let this one get away!
