Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the heart of little old New York
You'll find a thoroughfare
It's the part of little old New York
That runs into Times Square
A crazy quilt that Wall Street Jack built
If you've got a little time to spare
I want to take you there
[Verse 2]
Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you to
[Verse 3]
Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you to, 42nd Street
Hear the beat of dancing feet
It's the song I love the melody of, 42nd Street
[Verse 4]
Little nifties from the 50's, innocent and sweet
Sexy ladies from the 80's who are indiscreet
They're side-by-side, they're glorified
Where the underworld can meet the elite
Where the underworld can meet the elite, 42nd Street
Written by: Al Dubin, Harry Warren
