Lyrics for 42nd Street
On 42nd street There's gentlemen I'd rather not meet I'd like to call it skid row There's so much grass I had to blow See them lining door to door Faces I've seen in cities before Sirens had to clash This was the interstate New York bash On 42nd street There's a girl I'd like to meet I'd like to take her home But my girl wants me alone We're in uncertain heat As the N.Y.P.D. control the beat But I think they're just as bad If this was a reservation There's too many chiefs and not enough indians On 42nd street White hot steam fills the street On 42nd street
