[Marcello]:
Welcome to the world of Avenue A
Where you hear Como Estas, and Bless My Soul and Oy Vey
Rosie Finkelstein and Michael Monaghan are still going steady
Mrs. Brandenheim is yelling out there window, "Breakfast is ready."
And that's the way it goes on Avenue A
Where Father Callahan bids Rabbi Hershey, "Good Day."
People caring their Lasagna and Chow Mein all share the same tray
Part of the great big bouillabaisse called Avenue A
[Instrumental]
[Ladies]:
Welcome to the world of Avenue A
Where there's a family drama playing day after day
There's a second hand emporium on every corner that I'd walk
Ringelevio and little girls with jacks all share the same sidewalk
[Marcello]:
And that's the way it goes on Avenue A
Look there's a pushcart full of bagels coming your way
There's a rag man with a saxophone
There's not a tune he can't play
Part of the great kaleidoscope called Avenue A
[Instrumental]
[Town People]:
That's the way it goes on Avenue A
Where's there's a new adventure awaiting day after day
There's a rag man with a saxophone
There's not a tune he can't play
Part of the great kaleidoscope called Avenue A
