Avenue C Lyrics - Barry Manilow

Brass: N. Y. I dig 

Reeds: What about it? 

Brass: N. Y. is big 

Reeds: People tout it 

Brass: I flip my wig 

Reeds: What about? 

Brass: '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

Brass: 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 

Brass: Walk with me down Avenue C 

Tenor sax: Man I really hope to say 

Brass: 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

Brass: Y'got "B" on the one side 

Reeds: "A" 

Brass: "D" on the other 

Reeds: "B" 

Brass: "C" in the middle 

Reeds: "C" 

Brass 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 

Brass: Well our feet got rhythm 

Reeds: Pure pedal syncopation 

Brass: 'N when we walk with 'em 

Reeds: Demandin' admiration 

Brass: Well our step is snappy 

Reeds: Dig people step aside now 

Brass: Because we're so happy 

Reeds: We're takin' life in stride now 

Brass: Avenue C your vibrations 

are followin' me. Oh yes 

Reeds: Everybody busily lookin' 

Brass: Yes yes 

Reeds: Me and baby steadily cookin' 

Brass: Yes yes 

Reeds: Start at one end talkin' and movin' 

Brass: Yes yes 

Reeds: To the other wiggin' and groovin' 

Brass: So come 

Reeds: You should 

Brass: And view 

Reeds: I would 

Brass: This Ave- 

Reeds: You could 

Brass: Venue 

Reeds: It's good 

Brass: Walk on 

Reeds: "C" Avenue, see it my way 

Brass: Talk on 

Reeds: No better view on a highway 

Ensemble: Big town you don't know 'till you see it 

Brass: Walk on 

Reeds: 

I never saw such a wonderful sight Drum break 

Ensemble: You're gonna love it Break 

Brass: I'm hip, you'll flip 

Reeds: When you dig it you'll stop and linger 

Brass: 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
