Текст песни: New York City Serenade + перевод

Billy, he’s down by the railroad tracks

Sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac

And Diamond Jackie, oh, she’s so intact

As she falls so softly beneath him

Jackie’s heels are static

Billy’s got cleats on his boots

Together they’re gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the news

Yeah, it’s midnight in Manhattan, this ain’t no time to get cute

It’s a mad dog’s promenade, so walk tall

Or, baby, don’t walk at all

Fish lady, fish lady, fish lady, she breaks down them tenement walls

Won’t take corner boys, ain’t got no money and they’re so easy

I say, «Hey there, baby, won’t you take my hand, move with me down Broadway

I say, «Mama, won’t you take my arm and move with me, move with me down

Broadway»

I’m a young man, I talk it real loud

I say a young man, I’m gonna walk it really proud for ya

So shake it away

Shake away the city life

Shake away the street life

And hook up to the train

Hook up to the night train

Ah, hook up to the train

But I know that she won’t take the train, no, she won’t take the train

She won’t take the train, no, she won’t take the train

She won’t take the train, no, she won’t take the train

She won’t take the train, no, she won’t take the train

She’s afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down

And when she turns, this boy’ll be gone

So long

Sometimes, you gotta walk on

Hey, jazz man

Hey, vibes man

Won’t you sing me a serenade

In the deeper blue, you’ll be playin' in your parade

So save your notes, don’t y’spend 'em on the blues, boys

Yeah, save your notes, don’t spend 'em on the darlin' so long

Straight for the church note ringin'

Vibes man, sting a trash can

Listen to your junk man

Ah, listen to your junk man

Ah, listen to your junk man

Ah, listen to your junk man

He’s singin'

He’s singin'

He’s singin'

He’s singin'

He’s singin'

Singin'

He’s singin'

He’s singin'
