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
Come and meet
those dancing feet
on the avenue
I'm taking you to
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
Where the underworld
can meet the elite
Forty-Second Street
