Greene Street - Jonathan Larson

I found the sun

On a midwinter day

On a backstreet down in SoHo

There was snow on the ground

Instinct told me to get out and search for a day

Hey!

There goes a chic, chic baby on her way to a coup d'état

There goes a fella like me lookin' for his day

There goes a boy in his mama’s arms

You can say what you can say

There goes a lover sittin' and writin' this song

I’m sittin' on Greene Street

And I don’t mean money, honey

Greene Street

Watchin' the world waltz by

Greene Street

That’s the one that’s sunny, honey

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

There goes a man with a camera whose sunglasses shade his eyes

There goes a man that seems that he knows a star

There goes a tourist who’s scared to answer me

There goes a dancer too scared to answer me

An artist who winked as she passed by

Greene Street

Don’t mean money, honey

Greene Street

Watchin' the world waltz by

Greene Street

That’s the one that’s sunny, honey

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

All these people out in the street

Too bad that no one wants to meet

Everybody I see walks right by

Would someone please

Someone please

Look me in the eye?

Look me in the eye?

(Look me in the eye, look me in the eye)

I’m sittin' on Greene Street

And I don’t mean money, honey

Greene Street

Watchin' the day waltz by

Greene Street

That’s the one that’s sunny, honey

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

I’m sittin' on Greene Street (Greene Street)

That’s the one, not money, honey (Oh, money, honey)

Greene Street (Greene Street)

Watchin' the day waltz by

Greene Street (Greene Street)

That’s the one that’s sunny, honey (Oh, sunny, honey)

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

I’m sittin' on Greene Street (Greene Street)

That’s the one, not money, honey (Oh, money, honey)

Greene Street (Greene Street)

Watchin' the day waltz by

Greene Street (Greene Street)

That’s the one that’s sunny, honey (Oh, sunny, honey)

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away

Greene Street, Greene Street

Laughing the day away
