[JULIAN]
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!
Gaudy!
Sporty!
Forty-Second
Street!
[ENSEMBLE]
Dames are temporary flames to you
Dames, you don't recall their names
Do you?
Slim, trim, all curvy
Sweet, shy and nervy
There is nothin' as refined as beautiful-
No sun can shine as beautiful
Bring on a line of beautiful
Dames, dames, dames, dames
Dames, dames, dames, dames-
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hidee hi and whoop-di-doo
The lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town
And ev'ryone goes crazy
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
And sleep all day
Good night, baby
Good night
Let's call it a day
Listen to the lullaby of
Old
Broadway!
