On the Sidewalks of New York - Nat King Cole

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 the «Ginnie» played the organ

On the sidewalks of New York

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’Rorke

Tripped the light fantastic

On the sidewalks of New York

That’s where Johnny Casey

And little Jimmy Crowe

With Jakey Krause the baker

Who always had the dough

Pretty Nellie Shannon

With a dude as light as cork

First picked up the waltz step

On the sidewalks of New York

Things have changed since those times

And some are up in «G,»

Others are wand’rers

But all feel just like me

They would part with all they’ve got

Could they but once more walk

With their best girl and have a twirl

On the Sidewalks of New York
