Lyrics

52nd Street

[Verse 1] They say it takes a lot to keep a love alive In every heart, there pumps a different beat But if we shift the rhythm into overdrive Well, we could generate a lot of heat On 52nd Street On 52nd Street [Verse 2] We're gonna have a little show parade Before they know the second bar was played We're gonna slip it to 'em short and sweet On 52nd Street
