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

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 avenue
