On Yonge Street Lyrics - Painter Passing Through - Gordon Lightfoot

See the people walkin' up and down 

See the people movin' all around 

On the streets of my hometown, on Yonge Street 

Longest street in the world they say 

Summertime soon slips away 

I hope I'll see you one fine day on Yonge Street 

Everywhere you go in a city by the lake 

Back there in the flow you may give a hand a shake 

Everyone you pass seems to wanna say hello 

Even late at night on the freshly fallen snow 

See the children jumpin' all around 

See the parents looking up and down 

Upon the streets of my hometown, on Yonge Street 

It's a mean street if you choose 

It's a lean street when you loose 

An' in between street when you cruise along Yonge Street 

Everywhere you go in a city by the lake 

You'll be sure and find it's a case of give and take 

Everyone you pass seems to wanna say hello 

Even late at night when the streets are all aglow 

It's the longest street in the world 

With the most feet in the world 

Another street where boy meets girl on Yonge Street 

See the people walkin' up and down 

See the people movin' all around 

Those are the streets of my hometown, on Yonge Street 

Everywhere you walk people almost say hello 

Even late at night when the streets are all aglow 

On Yonge Street 

On Yonge Street
