Barry Manilow Avenue C Lyrics

Avenue C Lyrics

N.Y. I dig

What about it?

N.Y. is big

People tout it

I flip my wig

What about?

'Bout a street I dig



One day I was walkin' an'

Finally came upon a series of alphabet streets

A B C and D, but I went for C

The most of the hard-to-forget streets

It's really and truly the dilly of all m'pet streets



Hey, hey, hey everybody now

Come go walkin' with me now

Walk up Avenue C now

Chicks all lookin' so pretty

They don't give me no pity

Avenue C is the grooviest in the city



I never dug an avenue more enjoyable to me

C Avenue is groovy

Yes it was groovy as it could be

Walk with me down Avenue C

Man I really hope to say

Come on baby, while we ramble

Walk beside me while we ramble

You dig it too I feel you do

What a scenic hike

It's a walk that you're bound to like

Y'got A on the one side

B on the other

C in the middle

Baby



The reason that you're feelin' so down, babe

Is 'cause you live in Stuyvesant Town, babe

I dug you down in Hamilton Fish, babe

And realized that you were my dish, babe

Walkin' home and you can walk with me

Walkin' hand in hand on Avenue C, oh babe

And while we're walkin' we can do some talkin'

While the people dig us wonderin'

What we're puttin' down

While we, happy as we can be, glide on

Takin' life in stride up to Murphy Park

There beside the river



Well our feet got rhythm

(Pure pedal syncopation)

'N when we walk with 'em

(Demandin' admiration)

Well our step is snappy

(Dig people step aside now)

Because we're so happy

(We're takin' life in stride now)

Avenue C your vibrations

Are followin' me, oh yes



Everybody busily lookin'

(Yes yes)

Me and baby steadily cookin'

(Yes yes)

Start at one end talkin' and movin'

(Yes yes)

To the other wiggin' and groovin'

So come

You should

And view

I would

This Ave

You could

Venue

It's good

(Walk on)

C Avenue, see it my way

(Talk on)

No better view on a highway

Big town you don't know 'till you see it

(Walk on)

I never saw such a wonderful sight



You're gonna love it break

I'm hip, you'll flip

When you dig it you'll stop and linger

You'll pop your top

What a pleasure and what a swinger

Go dig it cop that view

It's bound to thrill you

(Come on, come on, go go)

Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you

(Come on, come on, now, go go)

Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you

Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you
