Classic Poem

VERSE

In the heart of little old New York,
You'll find a thoroughfare.
It's the part of little old New York
That runs into Times Square.
A crazy quilt
That " Wall Street Jack " built,
If you've got a little time to spare,
I want to take you there.

REFRAIN

Come and meet
Those dancing feet
On the avenue
I'm taking you to,
Forty-second Street.
Hear the beat
Of dancing feet,
It's the song I love
The melody of,
Forty-second Street.
Little " nifties "
From the Fifties,
Innocent and sweet;
Sexy ladies
From the Eighties,
Who are indiscreet.
They're side by side,
They're glorified,
Where the underworld can meet the elite,
Forty-second Street.
Naughty, bawdy,
Gawdy, sporty,
Forty-second Street.
