[00:00:22] It's really and truly the dilly of all m'pet streets

[00:00:23] Tenor sax: Hey hey hey everybody now

[00:00:24] Brass: Come go walkin' with me now

[00:00:27] Walk up avenue C now

[00:00:29] Chicks all lookin' so pretty

[00:00:30] They don't give me no pity

[00:00:32] Avenue C is the grooviest in the city

[00:00:35] Tenor sax: I never dug an avenue so enjoyable to me

[00:00:40] "C" Avenue is groovy

[00:01:07] Trumpet:

[00:01:07] The reason that you're feelin' so down babe

[00:01:09] Is 'cause you live in Stuyvesant Town babe

[00:01:10] I dug you down in Hamilton Fish babe

[00:01:11] And realized that you were my dish babe

[00:01:13] Walkin' home and you can walk with me

[00:01:14] Walkin' hand in hand up Avenue C Oh babe

[00:01:22] While the people dig us wonderin'

[00:01:23] What we're puttin' down

[00:01:25] While we happy as we can be glide on

[00:01:28] Takin' life in stride up to Murphy Park

[00:01:30] There beside the river
