“The Sidewalks of New York”

 

1.

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.

Chorus:

East side, West side, all around the town,
The tots sing “Ring around Rosie,”
“London bridge is falling down.”
Boys and girls together,
Me and Mamie O’Rourke
Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York.

2.

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.

Chorus

3.Things have changed since those times.
Some are up in “G”
Others, they are wand’rers,
But they all feel just like me;
They’ll 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.

Chorus

The sails were made of satin
And the masts were made of gold.

That stood between the decks,
Were four and twenty black mice
With rings about their necks.
The captain was a duck, a duck
With a jacket on his back;
And when the fairy ship set sail
The captain said, “Quack, quack.”
