Columbus avenue
I was lying on the bed,
watching the blue paint peeling
While the television set, threw its angry shadows at the ceiling
Down in the rainy streets, the pavement hissed its discontentment
In a city that never sleeps
the traffic rolls on unrelenting
on and on
As the sirens test their voice,
against concrete canyon wall
acoustics
I am left a choice of shows and films and news and music
Down in the rainy streets, a lady in a limousine
Switches on the tiny built in TV screen, to watch the same as I
And in the park, the dark snow is melting
A surefire sign that, the city will come alive
Tomorrow you can bet your ass, the joggers will be sweating, mmm
The weatherforecast says, it's gonna be 55
Oo, Columbus Avenue, I'll be
walking in the sunshine there with you
Oo, Manhattan morning mood, we'll have breakfast in a diner
Tea for two
The Kongo Killers gonna be warming up
Because another ball season is coming up, hey hey
Spring is under way
Let me tell you about the city in spring time
Oo, Columbus Avenue (city & swing time)
I'll be walking in the sunshine there with …- you
Oo, that big town morning mood
