paroles de chanson Christopher Street - Company feat. Michael Gruber

Come along!
On your left, Washington Square
Right in the heart of Greenwich Village

My, what trees!
Smell that air!
Painters and pigeons in Washington Square

On your right, Waverley Place
Bit of Paree in Greenwich Village

My, what charm!
My, what grace!
Poets and peasants on Waverley Place

Ever since 1870, Greenwich Village has been the bohemian
Cradle of painters, writers, actors, etcetera, who've gone
On to fame and fortune. Today, in 1935, who knows what
Future greats live in these twisting alleys. Come along!
(Sung)
Here you see Christopher Street
Typical spot in Greenwich Village

Ain't it quaint?
Ain't it sweet?
Pleasant and peaceful on Christopher Street

Here is home, Christopher Street
Right in the heart of Greenwich Village

Life is calm
Life is sweet
Pleasant and peaceful on Christopher Street

Here's a famous Village type
Mr. Apopolous, modern painter
Better known on this beat
As the lovable landlord of Christopher Street

Throw that Violet woman out of my building!

Ah, what's your beef now, Apopolous?

I'm very broad-minded, but when a woman gives rumba
Lessons all night, she's gotta have at least a photograph

Here's a guy known as The Reck
Football professional out of season
Unemployed throughout the heat
Living on nothing on Christopher Street

Hi! Where you goin' with Dicky-Bird?

Takin' him down to Benny's to see what I can get on 'im

Oh, no, Reck. You can't hock Dicky

Take your choice. We either hock him or have him on toast

Here is yet another type
Everyone knows the famous Violet
Nicest gal you'd ever meet
Steadily working on Christopher Street

Don't shove me, you big phony!

On your way, Violet

You're a public servant. I pay your salary
So just you show a little respect!

Life is gay
Life is sweet
Interesting people on Christopher Street

Such interesting people live on Christopher Street

Down with Wall Street!
Down with Wall Street!

Such interesting people live on Christopher Street

Love thy neighbor!
Love thy neighbor!

Such interesting people live on Christopher Street

And one, and two, and three, and four
And one, and two, and three, and four

Such interesting people live on Christopher Street

Look! Look!
Poets, actors, dancers, writers
Here we live
Here we love
This is the place for self-expression
Life is mad
Life is sweet
Greenwich Village, Greenwich Village, whee!

Such interesting people live on Christopher Street
Interesting people live on Christopher Street
Here we live
Here we love
This is the place for self-expression
Life is mad
Life is sweet
Interesting people living on Christopher Street
There they go down the stairs
Now they will live in Greenwich Village
Life is mad
Life is sweet
Interesting people living on Christopher Street
