Harry Mills Fifty-second Street Lyrics

Fifty-second Street Lyrics

It was just a normal street 

Till it got that off-time beat; 

Now
it's a place where the swing cats meet, 

Fifty-Second Street! 



It's an endless whoooh, 

Where the torrid trumpets blow, 

It's
quite a thing when you're feeling low, 

Fifty-second Street! 



Debutants arrive there and start rockin', 

Make it their rendevous,


Though their swing is absolutely shocking, 

The mamas ain't blue
because the mamas swing, too! 



It's a world set apart, 

It's
where swinging got its start; 

It's like the beat of a swingin' heart: 

Two blocks from Fifty, 

You'll find the lifty 

Fifty-Second
Street! 



It's a world that's set apart, 

It's where swinging
got its start; 

Not ten, twenty, thirty, forty, 

Fifty-Second
Street! 



La-la-oh-oh!
