New York City Serenade

Billy he's down by the railroad tracks  Sitting low in the back seat of his cadillac   Diamond Jackie she's so intact  As she falls so softly beneath him  Jackie's heels are stacked Billy's got cleats on his boots Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway And come back home with their loot It's midnight in Manhattan This is no time to get cute It's a mad dogs promenade So walk tall        Or baby don't walk at all                 Fish lady oh Fish lady Fish lady She baits them tenament walls  She wont take corner boys they ain't got no money And they're so easy  I said hey babe I'm easy Wont you take my hand waltz with me down Broadway        Oh mama take my arm and move with me down Broadway yeah   I'm a young man I talk it real loud Yeah babe I walk it real proud for ya Ah so shake it away So shake away your street life shake away your city life And hook up to the train Ah hook up to the night train Hook it up hook up to the...hook up to the train  But I know that she... Won't take the train (No she wont take the train) No she wont take the train (No she wont take the train) Oh she wont take the train (No she wont take the train) Oh she wont take the train (No she wont take the train) She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down And when she turns this boy'll be gone Baby so long    Sometimes you just gotta walk on walk             Hey vibes man hey jazz man Ah play me your serenade  Any deeper blue you'll be playing in your grave  Save your notes Don't spend 'em on the blues boy Save your notes Don't spend 'em on the darlin' blues boy Straight for the church note ringin' Vibes man sting a trashcan Listen to your junk man ah listen to your junk man listen to your junk man oh listen to your junk man He's singing singing He's singing singing He's singing singing All dressed up in satin walking down the alley Singing singing Sing yeah sing yeah Singing singing Sing yeah sing yeah ...
