Avenue C

New York I dig

What about it?

New York is big

People tout it

I flip my wig

What about?

'Bout a street I dig

One day I was walkin'

And 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

Hey, hey, hey everybody now

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

I never dug an avenue more enjoyable to me

C avenue is groovy

Yes, it was groovy as it could be

Walk with me down Avenue C

Man I really hope to say

Come on, baby, while we ramble

Walk beside me while we ramble

You dig it too, I feel you do

What a scenic hike

It's a walk that you're bound to like

You got A on the one side

B on the other

C in the middle

Baby

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 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

Well our feet got rhythm (Pure pedal syncopation)

And when we walk with 'em (Demanding admiration)

Well our step is snappy (Dig people step aside now)

Because we're so happy (We're takin' life in stride now)

Avenue C, your vibrations

Are followin' me, oh, yes

Everybody busily lookin' (Yes, yes)

Me and baby steadily cookin' (Yes, yes)

Start at one end talkin' and movin' (Yes, yes)

To the other wiggin' and groovin' (Yes, yes)

So come (You should)

And view (I would)

This Ave (You could)

Venue (It's good)

(Walk on) C Avenue, see it my way

(Talk on) No better view on a highway

Big town you don't know till you see it

(Walk on) I never saw such a wonderful sight

You're gonna love it

(I'm hip, you'll flip) When you dig it you'll stop and linger

(You'll pop, your top) what a pleasure and what a swinger

Go dig it, cop that view it's bound to thrill you (Come on, come on)

Go dig it, cop that view it's bound to thrill you (Come on, come on)

Go dig it, cop that view it's bound to thrill you

Go dig it, cop that view it's bound to thrill you
