Main  Street - 1950 - from 'On The Town'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 05 Oct 2001

There's not much to tell about my home town,
life is easy and the tempo slow;
but if you really want to find what's in it,
you'll learn in a minute
all you have to know, Let's go:

Come walking with me
I want you to see
our Main Street.
You'll know the whole town
by just walking down our Main Street.
Over there's the little soda shop,
the jukebox is always playin'
that's where the young folks stray in,
sayin': "make mine
a double choc'late sundae."
And then we can stop
and chat with the cop on Main Street,
he made an arrest away
back in nineteen three;
He'll ask me: "Who is the pretty stranger?"
How proud I'm gonna be
when you walk down Main Street with me.

Come walking with me
I want you to see
our Main Street.
You'll know the whole town
by just walking down our Main Street.
Over there's the little soda shop,
the jukebox is always playin'
that's where the young folks stray in,
sayin': "make mine
a double choc'late sundae."
Then facing the Square
the church is right there on Main Street,
they say it was built around
eighteen twentytwo,
The parson's there
all prepared and waitin'
in case there's work to do
When I walk down Main Street with you.
