And the frogs and dogs and night birds then Started up singing sweet country lullaby
You see that patch of city lights
Somewhere in there’s Cotton Avenue That’s where I’m going to take myself tonight With a spit shine on my dancing shoes
If you got a place like that to go
You just have to go there
If you got no place special
Well then you just go no place special
I guess it’s just the summer in the young blood
Ripe and juicy in the young blood Teasing to go down to Cotton Avenue
To hear the shiny shiny music
See all the shiny people dancing to it Anytime you go to Cotton Avenue
If you got a place like that to go
You know you got to go there
If you got no place special Well then you just go no place special
You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky
By the time it hits here I’ll be dancing high and dry To rhythm and blues on Cotton Avenue
Poor boys’ll be hanging around outside in the street
They got all the latest words They’re dancing to the latest beat While they’re hustling and sizing you On Cotton Avenue
If you got a place like that to go
You just have to go there
If you’ve got no place special Well my dear You just go no place special
