Wanda Richert, Leroy Reams and 42nd Street Cast Ensemble - 42nd Street

In the heart of little old New York
You'll find a thoroughfare
It's the part of little old New York
That runs into Times Square
A crazy quilt that Wall Street Jack built
If you've got a little time to spare
I want to take you there

Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you too

Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you too
Forty-second street
Hear the beat of dancing feet
It's the song I love the melody of
Forty-second street

Little nifties from the fifties
Innocent and sweet
Sexy ladies from the eighties
Who are indiscreet

They're side by side, they're glorified
Where the underworld can meet the elite
Where the underworld can meet the elite
Forty-second street

(He stole my purse)
