Manhattan Avenue
Nellie McKay
Send a breeze A pitbull's yelp A tender squeeze A cry for help Make it now And make it fast Such memories Can never last I long for the days Music and mayhem Mama's a smilin' friend In the scuzzy hue of the sunlight Manhattan avenue Lionel please Watch o'er our door The children tease I beg for more Chipping paint The ceiling's spent Aw ain't it great Can't make the rent I long for the days Kittens are meowling Junkies are prowling Deep in the jazzy hue of the streetlight Manhattan avenue [instrumental break] How wild it is What strange a vice That a mugger and a child should share the same paradise Oh but dreams come true on Manhattan avenuebeautiful beauty cold winter day depressed nice Pure Awesome showtunes singer-songwriter
