[edit] Lyrics
- 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'd like to take you there
- Come and meet those dancing feet
- On the avenue I'm taking you to - 42nd Street
- Hear the beat of dancing feet
- It's the song I love the melody of - 42nd Street
- Little nifties from the fifties, innocent and sweet
- Sexy ladies from the eighties who are indiscreet!
- Oh, there side by side, they're glorified
- Where the underworld can meet the élite - 42nd Street
- Come and meet those dancing feet
- On the avenue I'm taking you to - 42nd Street
- Hear the beat of dancing feet
- It's the song I love the melody of - 42nd Street
- Little nifties from the fifties, innocent and sweet
- Sexy ladies from the eighties who are indiscreet!
- There side by side, they're glorified
- Where the underworld can meet the élite
- Naughty, gawdy, bawdy, sporty, 42nd Street
- The big parade goes on for years
- It's a rhapsody of laughter and tears
- Naughty, bawdy, gawdy, sporty, 42nd Street
