Send a breeze a pitbull's yelp A tender squeeze, a cry for help Make it now and make it fast Such memories can never last I long for the day, music and mayhem Mama's a smilin' friend In the scuzzy hue of the sunlight Manhattan avenue Lionel please watch over our door The children tease I beg for more Chipping paint the ceiling's spent Oh ain't it great, can't make the rent I long for the days, kittens are mewling Junkies are prowling Deep in the jazzy hue of the streetlight Manhattan avenue How wild it is, what strange a vice That a mugger and a child should share the same paradise Oh but dreams come true On Manhattan avenue
