Forty-Second Street
Don Bestor
— words by Al Dubin, music by Harry Warren
Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I’m taking you to
Forty-Second Street
Hear the beat of dancing feet
It’s the song I love the melody of
Forty-Second Street
Little nifties from the fifties, innocent and sweet
Sexy ladies from the eighties, who are indiscreet
They’re side by side, they’re glorified
Where the underworld can meet the elite
Forty-Second Street
Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I’m taking you to
Forty-Second Street
Hear the beat of dancing feet
It’s the song I love the melody of
Forty-Second Street
Little nifties from the fifties, innocent and sweet
Sexy ladies from the eighties, who are indiscreet
They’re side by side, they’re glorified
Where the underworld can meet the elite
Naughty, bawdy, gawdy, sporty,
Forty-Second Street
