Fifth Avenue

We've been to London's Piccadilly
When it was time for tea
We walked along the Champs Elyse
The pride of gay Paree
You can rave about your Broadway and Times Square
Come on along and let me show you the grandest thoroughfare

Hop a bus, take a car
Hail a cab and there you are
On Fifth Avenue (old Fifth Avenue)
Ev'ry Joe, ev'ry Jane
Walks along that dreamer's lane
On Fifth Avenue (that's Fifth Avenue)
Where they stop, window shop, and their hopes are so high
Pricing rings, pretty things that they can't afford to buy
But they smile, they don't care
Ev'ryone's a millionaire
When you're strolling on Fifth Avenue

Easter bonnets bright and gay
New York's finest on Saint Patrick's Day
Flags are flying, see them wave
Soldiers marching in mem'ry of the brave

There are shouts, there are cheers
Mingled with a mother's tears
On Fifth Avenue (old Fifth Avenue)
All the world's on parade
Where the fashions are made
On Fifth Avenue (that's Fifth Avenue)
Fancy shops, small cafes, a cathedral and then
Central Park, Cartier's, and a Woolworth's five and ten
What a street, what a thrill
Say, you haven't lived until
You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
