The Streets Of New York 1907 'The Red Mill'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 19 Aug 2004

In dear old New York it's remarkable very!
The name of the lamp post is unnecessary!
You merely have to see the girls
to know what street you're on!
Fifth Avenue beauties
and dear old Broadway girls!
The tailor made shoppers
the Avenue "A" girls,
they're strictly all right
but they're different quite,
in the diff'rent parts of town.

In old New York!
In old New York!
The peach crop's always fine!
They're sweet and fair
and on the square!
The Maids of Manhattan for mine!
You cannot see in gay Paree,
in London or in Cork!
The queens you'll meet on any street
in old New York.

If a spare afternoon,
you should happen to have
and you start on
a leisurely stroll up Fifth Avenue,
there is where the haughty air
you'll see them as they walk!
With velvets and laces
and sables enfolding them,
really you'll nearly fall dead on beholding them,
lucky's the Earl that can marry a girl
from Fifth Avenue New York.

In old New York!
In old New York!
The peach crop's always fine!
They're sweet and fair
and on the square!
The Maids of Manhattan for mine!
You cannot see in gay Paree,
in London or in Cork!
The queens you'll meet on any street
in old New York.

Whatever the weather
is shining or showery,
that doesn't cut any ice
on the Bowery;
every night till broad day light,
they dance and sing and talk!
The girls are all game
and they're jolly good fellows,
they're not very swell
but they're none of them jealous,
they go it alone in a style of their own
on The Bowery in New York.

In old New York!
In old New York!
The peach crop's always fine!
They're sweet and fair
and on the square!
The Maids of Manhattan for mine!
You cannot see in gay Paree,
in London or in Cork!
The queens you'll meet on any street
in old New York.
