Come an
d meet
those dancin' feet
On the avenue I'm takin' you to,
42nd Street
Hear the beat of dancin' feet
In a song I love, that melody of 42nd Street
Little gifties from the fifties,
innocent and sweet
Lovely ladies from the eighties,
give yourself a treat
Learn and learn, side by side, they glorify
Learn and learn,
where the whole world meets
success and defeat
42nd Street, hearty, gaudy, so sporty
42nd Street
Forty Second Street,
Forty Second Street,
On the avenue I'm taking you
Forty Second Street,
Forty Second Street,
Song I love the melody of
In the middle, in the heart
of little old New York
You'll find the crowds all there
In the middle is the part
a little old New York
runs into old Times Square
You'll find an awful lot of rhythm,
no one seems to care
If you have a little time to spare,
I want to take you there
It's the song I love,
that melody of 42nd Street.
Rough and tough guys, whatever new guys,
all are walkin' up and down the street.
Lovely ladies from the eighties,
give yourself a treat.
Although couples struttin' side by side,
everybody walkin' there satisfied,
where the whole world meets,
success and defeat,
40 seconds free.
