Barry Manilow - Avenue C - Текст песни

Brass: N. Y. I dig 
Reeds: What about it? 
Brass: N. Y. is big 
Reeds: People tout it 
Brass: I flip my wig 
Reeds: What about? 
Brass: 'Bout a street I dig 

Piano (Basie's solo): 
One day I was walkin' n' 
Finally came upon a series of alphabet streets 
A-B-C and D, but I went for "C" 
The most of the hard-to-forget streets 
It's really and truly the dilly of all m'pet streets 
Tenor sax: Hey, hey, hey everybody now 

Brass: Come go walkin' with me now 
Walk up avenue C now 
Chicks all lookin' so pretty 
They don't give me no pity 
Avenue C is the grooviest in the city 

Tenor sax: I never dug an avenue so enjoyable to me 
"C" Avenue is groovy 
Yes it was groovy as it could be 
Brass: Walk with me down Avenue C 
Tenor sax: Man I really hope to say 

Brass: Come on baby, while we ramble 
Walk beside me while we ramble 
Tenor sax: You dig it too I feel you do 
What a scenic hike 
It's a walk that you're bound to like 

Brass: Y'got "B" on the one side 
Reeds: "A" 
Brass: "D" on the other 
Reeds: "B" 
Brass: "C" in the middle 
Reeds: "C" 
Brass and Reeds: Baby! 

Trumpet: 
The reason that you're feelin' so down, babe 
Is 'cause you live in Stuyvesant Town, babe 
I dug you down in Hamilton Fish, babe 
And realized that you were my dish, babe 
Walkin' home and you can walk with me 
Walkin' hand in hand up Avenue C, Oh babe 
And while we're walkin' we can do some talkin' 
While the people dig us wonderin' 
what we're puttin' down 
While we, happy as we can be, glide on 
Takin' life in stride up to Murphy Park 
there beside the river 

Brass: Well our feet got rhythm 
Reeds: Pure pedal syncopation 
Brass: 'N when we walk with 'em 
Reeds: Demandin' admiration 
Brass: Well our step is snappy 
Reeds: Dig people step aside now 
Brass: Because we're so happy 
Reeds: We're takin' life in stride now 
Brass: Avenue C your vibrations 
are followin' me. Oh yes 

Reeds: Everybody busily lookin' 
Brass: Yes yes 
Reeds: Me and baby steadily cookin' 
Brass: Yes yes 
Reeds: Start at one end talkin' and movin' 
Brass: Yes yes 
Reeds: To the other wiggin' and groovin' 
Brass: So come 
Reeds: You should 
Brass: And view 
Reeds: I would 
Brass: This Ave- 
Reeds: You could 
Brass: Venue 
Reeds: It's good 

Brass: Walk on 
Reeds: "C" Avenue, see it my way 
Brass: Talk on 
Reeds: No better view on a highway 
Ensemble: Big town you don't know 'till you see it 
Brass: Walk on 
Reeds: 
I never saw such a wonderful sight Drum break 
Ensemble: You're gonna love it Break 

Brass: I'm hip, you'll flip 
Reeds: When you dig it you'll stop and linger 
Brass: You'll pop your top 
Reeds: What a pleasure and what a swinger 
Ensemble: Go dig it cop that view 
it's bound to thrill you 
(Come on, come on, go) 
Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you 
(Come on, come on, now, go) 
Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you 
Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you
