| 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 |
