August in the city 90 degrees The streets are full of arms and legs The audience is hangin' on the corner Just waitin' for some bones to beg The sniper and the moving target I can't talk talk talk until my face turn blue Hey girl, you, girl put that right here This what I'll do to you But I live, I live, I live on this street The dogs are speakin' the men are howlin' When we take our parts out for a walk I could say, I should say, I would say Does your mama know about the way you talk Somewhere in Egypt I'm worth 4 camels A strong healthy girl like me On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free But I live, I live, I love on this street He's the ruler of the pavement He owns all that he can see On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free I live, I live, I love on this street REPEAT THREE TIMES
