It was just a normal street
Till it got that off-time beat;
Now it`s a place where the swing cats meet,
Fifty-Second Street!
It`s an endless whoooh,
Where the torrid trumpets blow,
It`s quite a thing when you`re feeling low,
Fifty-second Street!
Debutants arrive there and start rockin`,
Make it their rendevous,
Though their swing is absolutely shocking,
The mamas ain`t blue because the mamas swing, too!
It`s a world set apart,
It`s where swinging got its start;
It`s like the beat of a swingin` heart:
Two blocks from Fifty,
You`ll find the lifty
Fifty-Second Street!
It`s a world that`s set apart,
It`s where swinging got its start;
Not ten, twenty, thirty, forty,
Fifty-Second Street!
La-la-oh-oh!
