| Lyrics: | SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK
(James W. Blake and Charles E. Lawlor)
Down in front of
Casey's old brown wooden stoop,
On a summer's evening we formed a merry group;
Boys and
girls together we would sing and waltz
While Tony played the organ on the sidewalks of New
York.
cho: East side, west side, all around the town,
The tots sang
"ring-a-rosie," "London Bridge is falling down."
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie
O'Rourke
Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New
York.
That's where Johnny Casey, little Jimmy Crowe
Jakey Krause, the baker, who
always had the dough,
Pretty Nellie Shannon with a dude as light as cork
She first picked
up the waltz step on the sidewalks of New York.
Things have changed since those times,
some are up in "G"
Others they are wand'rers but they all feel just like me
They'd part
with all they've got, could they once more walk
With their best girl and have a twirl on the
sidewalks of New
York.
