August in the city 90 degrees
The streets are full of arms and legs
The audience is hangin´ on the corner
Just waitin´ for some bones to beg
The sniper and the moving target
I can´t talk talk talk until my face turn blue
Hey girl, you, girl put that right here
This what I´ll do to you
But I live, I live, I live on this street
The dogs are speakin´ the men are howlin´
When we take our parts out for a walk
I could say, I should say, I would say
Does your mama know about the way you talk
Somewhere in Egypt I´m worth 4 camels
A strong healthy girl like me
On 42nd Street it´s a quarter to look
But the women outside are free
But I live, I live, I love on this street
He´s the ruler of the pavement
He owns all that he can see
On 42nd Street it´s a quarter to look
But the women outside are free
I live, I live, I love on this street
REPEAT THREE TIMES
