On a night with no lights They found a young girl's body Jigged and beaten and they made it a priority But the boys in blue couldn't solve the case Because the girl that hit the curb didn't have no face
They found her on Delancy Street, Christmas Eve No suspect sought, much to my relief And I said wash your face little girl, for real Pretend you came back with that mass appeal Now diamonds for your pearl, clicking and heels Shaking that ass for extra value meals And down that part of town, that frightens the masses Filled with mean motherfuckers and noxious gases
Chorus Delancy I love you, I need you You're the only one for me Delancy I love you, I need you I miss you on the Southside of the street (2x)
They're all bums girl, they're all bums girl They're livin' in their fucked up places I'm talking murder, I'm talking blackmail and jazz And guys with burned up faces
Delancy I love you, I need you You're the only one for me Delancy I love you I need you Southside, Southside Delancy I love you I need you You're the only one for me Delancy I love you I need you I miss you on the Southside of the street
You know that you're the flower, baby I am Dr Pepper
I saw you on the street and it made me feel much better I dragged him 'cross the ground to show him what he'd done I seen an F' train coming, shining like the sun Yeah I looked both ways before I pushed him in the track I heard a scream, a crack and I never looked back Delancy on my mind (repeat)
