8-Bar Intro

Verse 1

DOWN IN FRONT OF CA-SEY'S, OLD BROWN WOOD-EN STOOP,
ON A SUM-MERS EVE-NING, WE FORMED A MER-RY GROUP,
BOYS AND GIRLS TO-GETH-ER, WE WOULD SING AND WALTZ,
WHILE THE "GIN-NIE" PLAYED THE OR-GAN
ON THE SIDE-WALKS OF NEW YORK

Verse 2

  THAT'S WERE JOHN-NY CA-SEY, AND LIT-TLE JIM-MY CROWE,
WITH JA-KEY KRAUSE THE BA-KER WHO AL-WAYS HAD THE DOUGH,
PRET-TY NEL-LIE SHAN-NON, WITH A DUDE AS LIGHT AS CORK,
FIRST PICKED UP THE WALTZ STEP,
ON THE SIDE-WALKS OF NEW YORK.

Verse 3

THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THOSE TIMES, SOME ARE UP IN "G,"
OTH-ERS THEY ARE ON THE HOG BUT THEY ALL FEEL JUST LIKE ME,
THEY WOULD PART WITH ALL THEY'VE GOT, COULD THEY JUST ONCE MORE WALK,
WITH THEIR BEST GIRL AND HAVE A TWIRL,
ON THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK.

Chorus
 

EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE, ALL A-ROUND THE TOWN,
THE TOT SANG "RING A RO-SIE," "LON-DON BRIDGE IS FALL-ING DOWN."
BOYS AND GIRLS TO-GETH-ER, ME AND MA-MIE ROUKE,
TRIPPED THE LIGHT FAN-TAS-TIC, ON THE SIDE-WALKS OF NEW YORK.
