Come and meet those dancing feet, On the avenue I'm taking 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; Sexy ladies from the Eighties, Who are indiscreet. They're side by side, they're glorified Where the underworld can meet the elite, Forty-Second Street. Naughty, bawdy, gaudy, sporty, Forty-Second Street!
