avenue c - barry manilow lyrics

br-ss: n. y. i dig
reeds: what about it?
br-ss: n. y. is big
reeds: people tout it
br-ss: i flip my wig
reeds: what about?
br-ss: ’bout a street i dig

piano (basie’s solo):
one day i was walkin’ n’
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
tenor sax: hey, hey, hey everybody now

br-ss: 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

tenor sax: i never dug an avenue so enjoyable to me
“c” avenue is groovy
yes it was groovy as it could be
br-ss: walk with me down avenue c
tenor sax: man i really hope to say

br-ss: come on baby, while we ramble
walk beside me while we ramble
tenor sax: you dig it too i feel you do
what a scenic hike
it’s a walk that you’re bound to like

br-ss: y’got “b” on the one side
reeds: “a”
br-ss: “d” on the other
reeds: “b”
br-ss: “c” in the middle
reeds: “c”
br-ss and reeds: baby!

trumpet:
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 up 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

br-ss: well our feet got rhythm
reeds: pure pedal syncopation
br-ss: ‘n when we walk with ’em
reeds: demandin’ admiration
br-ss: well our step is snappy
reeds: dig people step aside now
br-ss: because we’re so happy
reeds: we’re takin’ life in stride now
br-ss: avenue c your vibrations
are followin’ me. oh yes

reeds: everybody busily lookin’
br-ss: yes yes
reeds: me and baby steadily cookin’
br-ss: yes yes
reeds: start at one end talkin’ and movin’
br-ss: yes yes
reeds: to the other wiggin’ and groovin’
br-ss: so come
reeds: you should
br-ss: and view
reeds: i would
br-ss: this ave-
reeds: you could
br-ss: venue
reeds: it’s good

br-ss: walk on
reeds: “c” avenue, see it my way
br-ss: talk on
reeds: no better view on a highway
ensemble: big town you don’t know ’till you see it
br-ss: walk on
reeds:
i never saw such a wonderful sight drum break
ensemble: you’re gonna love it break

br-ss: i’m hip, you’ll flip
reeds: when you dig it you’ll stop and linger
br-ss: you’ll pop your top
reeds: what a pleasure and what a swinger
ensemble: go dig it cop that view
it’s bound to thrill you
(come on, come on, go)
go dig it cop that view it’s bound to thrill you
(come on, come on, now, 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
