Had a crazy time down on 42nd street

Ya now the people there are always in the heat

If you don`t tell no lies, look `em in the face

But just one slip of the lip, you`ll be gone without a trace



Too many people say they won`t give a glance

But they`re just too scared and wouldn`t stand a chance

Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street



Well me and the boys, we had to get away

From all the small town clowns, always got something to say

So we packed our bags and headed for the lights

Nothin`s better than a blow-out New York night



When I hit that place that everyone seems to hate

Gonna be myself and make damn sure we stay

Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street



Had a crazy time down on 42nd street

Ya now the people there are always in the heat

If ya wanna lose your mind, end up in lost and found

I know I`ll see you there, makin` all the rounds



Too many people say they won`t give a glance

But they`re just too scared and wouldn`t stand a chance

Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street
