Avenue C Lyrics


N.Y. I dig
What about it?
N.Y. is big
People tout it
I flip my wig
What about?
'Bout a street I dig
One day I was walkin' an'
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
Hey, hey, hey everybody now
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

I never dug an avenue more enjoyable to me
C Avenue is groovy
Yes it was groovy as it could be
Walk with me down Avenue C
Man I really hope to say
Come on baby, while we ramble
Walk beside me while we ramble
You dig it too I feel you do
What a scenic hike
It's a walk that you're bound to like
Y'got A on the one side
B on the other
C in the middle
Baby
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 on 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
Well our feet got rhythm
(Pure pedal syncopation)
'N when we walk with 'em
(Demandin' admiration)
Well our step is snappy
(Dig people step aside now)
Because we're so happy
(We're takin' life in stride now)
Avenue C your vibrations
Are followin' me, oh yes
Everybody busily lookin'
(Yes yes)
Me and baby steadily cookin'
(Yes yes)
Start at one end talkin' and movin'
(Yes yes)
To the other wiggin' and groovin'
So come
You should
And view
I would
This Ave
You could
Venue
It's good
(Walk on)
C Avenue, see it my way
(Talk on)
No better view on a highway
Big town you don't know 'till you see it
(Walk on)
I never saw such a wonderful sight
You're gonna love it break
I'm hip, you'll flip
When you dig it you'll stop and linger
You'll pop your top
What a pleasure and what a swinger
Go dig it cop that view
It's bound to thrill you
(Come on, come on, go go)
Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you
(Come on, come on, now, go go)
Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you
Go dig it cop that view it's bound to thrill you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Barry Manilow (born June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, United States) is an American pop singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, producer, conductor, and performer, best known for such recordings as "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)."

In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-selling charts simultaneously, a feat equaled only by Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in his being named Radio & Records number one Adult Contemporary artist and winning three straight American Music Awards for Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist. Several well-known entertainers have given Manilow their "stamp of approval," including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s regarding Manilow, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you."

As well as producing and arranging albums for other artists, such as Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, Manilow has written songs for musicals, films, and commercials. From February 2005 to December 30, 2009, he was the headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton, performing hundreds of shows before ending relationship with the hotel. From March 2010, he has headlined at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. He has sold more than 80 million records worldwide
