Barry Manilow - Avenue C songtekst

Je score:

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
