[bad word] and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm takin' you to
Forty-second Street
Hear the beat of dancing feet
It's the song I love the melody of
Forty-second Street...

Little 'nifties' from the Fifties
Innocent and sweet [bad word] ladies from the Eighties
Who are indiscreet - (Oh)
They're side by side, they're glorified
Where the underworld can meet the elite
Forty-second Street (х2)
