Nellie McKay - Manhattan Avenue lyrics

Your rating:

Send a breeze 

A pitbull's yelp 

A tender squeeze 

A cry for help 

Make it now 

And make it fast 

Such memories 

Can never last 

I long for the days 

Music and mayhem 

Mama's a smilin' friend 

In the scuzzy hue of the sunlight 

Manhattan avenue 



Lionel please 

Watch o'er our door 

The children tease 

I beg for more 

Chipping paint 

The ceiling's spent 

Aw ain't it great 

Can't make the rent 

I long for the days 

Kittens are meowling 

Junkies are prowling 

Deep in the jazzy hue of the streetlight

Manhattan avenue 



[instrumental break]



How wild it is 

What strange a vice 

That a mugger and a child should share the same paradise

Oh but dreams come true on

Manhattan avenue
