[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!
