Verse 1

OH! THE NIGHT THAT I STRUCK NEW YORK, I WENT OUT FOR A QUI-ET WALK;
FOLKS WHO ARE "'ON-TO" THE CIT-Y SAY, BET-TER BY FAR THAT I TOOK BROAD-WAY;
BUT I WAS OUT TO EN-JOY THE SIGHTS, THERE WAS THE BOW-'RY A-BLAZE WITH LIGHTS;
I HAD ONE OF THE DEV-IL'S OWN NIGHTS! I''LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Chorus

THE BOW-'RY, THE BOW-'RY, THEY SAY SUCH THINGS, AND THEY DO STRANGE THINGS,
ON THE BOW-'RY! THE BOW-'RY! I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Verse 2

I HAD WALK'D BUT A BLOCK OR TWO, WHEN UP CAME A FEL-LOW AND ME HE KNEW;
THEN A PO-LICE-MAN CAME WALK-ING BY, CHASED HIM A-WAY, AND I ASK'D HIM, WHY?
"WAS-'NT HE PULL-ING YOUR LEG," SAID HE; SAID I "HE NEV-ER LAID HANDS ON ME!"
"GET OFF THE BOW-'RY, YOU YEP! SAID HE, I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!
 

Chorus

THE BOW-'RY, THE BOW-'RY, THEY SAY SUCH THINGS, AND THEY DO STRANGE THINGS,
ON THE BOW-'RY! THE BOW-'RY! I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Verse 3

I WENT IN-TO AN AUC-TION STORE, I NEV-ER SAW AN-Y THIEVES BE-FORE;
FIRST HE SOLD ME A PAIR OF SOCKS, THEN SAID HE, "HOW MUCH FOR THE BOX?"
SOME-ONE SAID "TWO DOL-LARS!" I SAID "THREE!" HE EMP-TIED THE BOX AND GAVE IT TO ME,
"I SOLD YOU THE BOX, NOT THE SOCKS," SAID HE, I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!
 

Chorus

THE BOW-'RY, THE BOW-'RY, THEY SAY SUCH THINGS, AND THEY DO STRANGE THINGS,
ON THE BOW-'RY! THE BOW-'RY! I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Verse 4

I WENT IN-TO A CON-CERT HALL, I DID-'NT HAVE A GOOD TIME AT ALL:
JUST THE MIN-UTE THAT I SAT DOWN, GIRLS BE-GAN SING-ING "NEW MAN IN TOWN,"
I GOT UP MAD AND SPOKE OUT FREE, "SOME-BO-DY PUT THAT MAN OUT!" SAID SHE,
A MAN CALLED A BOUN-CER AT-TEND-ED TO ME, I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Chorus

THE BOW-'RY, THE BOW-'RY, THEY SAY SUCH THINGS, AND THEY DO STRANGE THINGS,
ON THE BOW-'RY! THE BOW-'RY! I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Verse 5

I WENT IN-TO A BAR-BER SHOP, HE TALK'D TILL I THOUGH HE WOULD NE-VER STOP;
I, CUT IT SHORT, HE MIS-UN-DER-STOOD, CLIPP'D DOWN MY HAIR JUST AS CLOSE AS HE COULD;
HE SHAVED WITH A RA-ZOR THAT SCRATCH'D LIKE A PIN, TOOK OFF MY WHIS-KERS AND MOST OF MY CHIN;
THAT WAS THE WORST SCRAPE I EV-ER GOT IN, I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Chorus

THE BOW-'RY, THE BOW-'RY, THEY SAY SUCH THINGS, AND THEY DO STRANGE THINGS,
ON THE BOW-'RY! THE BOW-'RY! I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Verse 6

I STRUCK A PLACE THAT THEY CALLED A "DIVE", I WAS IN BACK TO GET OUT A-LIVE;
WHEN THE PO-LICE-MAN HEARD MY WOES, SAW MY BLACK EYES AND MY BAT-TERED NOSE,
"YOU'VE BEEN HELD UP!" SAID THE "COP-PER" FLY! "NO, SIR! BUT I'VE BEEN KNOCK'D DOWN!" AND I,
THEN HE LAUGHED, THO' I COULD-'NT SEE WHY! I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!

Chorus

THE BOW-'RY, THE BOW-'RY, THEY SAY SUCH THINGS, AND THEY DO STRANGE THINGS,
ON THE BOW-'RY! THE BOW-'RY! I'LL NEV-ER GO THERE AN-Y MORE!
