[Intro]
New York City
New York City
New York City
Let's go
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Put on your best dress, baby
Darling, fix your hair up right
'Cause there's a party, honey
Way down beneath the neon lights
All day you're walking that hard line
Now tonight, you're gonna have a good time
[Verse 2]
I work five days a week, girl
Loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard-earned money
I meet my girl down on the block
Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got Friday on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
When the whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
[Chorus]
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I walk thе way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I talk the way I wanna talk
Whеn I'm out in the street, when I'm out in the street
[Verse 3]
When I'm out in the street, girl
Well, I never feel alone
When I'm out in the street, girl
In the crowd, I feel at home
The black-and-whites, they cruise by
They watch us from the corner of their eye
[Pre-Chorus]
But there ain't no doubt
Girl, that down here
We ain't gonna take what they're handing out
[Chorus]
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I talk the way I wanna talk
Out in the street, I don't feel sad or blue
Baby, out in the street, I'll be waiting for you
[Saxophone Solo]
Come on, man, go
[Pre-Chorus]
When the whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
[Chorus]
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I talk the way I wanna talk
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Pretty girls, they all pass me by
When I'm out in the street, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
From the corner, we give them the eye
Out in the street, I just feel alright
Meet me out in the street, little girl, tonight
Meet me out in the street, meet me out in the—
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, I said (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, I said (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Today I said (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
A-meet me out in the street, baby
Meet me out in the street, baby
Meet me out in the street, sugar
Meet me out in the street, baby
Meet me out in the street, yeah
Meet me out in the street tonight
A-meet me out in the street, baby
Meet me out in the street, baby
Meet me out in the street, meet me out in the street
Meet me out in the street, meet me out in the street
Meet me out in the street, meet me out in the street
Meet me out in the street, meet me out in the street
Come on, sugar
[Outro]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
New York City
Is there anybody alive out there?
