New York Serenade Lyrics

Billy he's down by the railroad tracks 

Sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac 

Diamond Jackie, she's so intact 

As she falls so softly beneath him 

Jackie's heels are stacked 

Billy's got cleats on his boots 

Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the loot 

It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute 

It's a mad dog's promenade 

So walk tall or baby don't walk at all 

Fish lady, oh fish lady 

She baits them tenement walls 

She won't take corner boys 

They ain't got no money 

And they're so easy 

I said "Hey, baby 

Won't you take my hand 

Walk with me down Broadway 

Well mama take my arm andК move with me down Broadway" 

I'm a young man, I talk it real loud 

Yeah babe I walk it real proud for you 

Ah so shake it away 

So shake away your street life 

Shake away your city life 

Hook up to the train 

And hook up to the night train 

Hook it up 

Hook up to the train 

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

Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train 

Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train 

Oh 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 just gotta walk on, walk on 

Hey vibes man, hey jazz man, play me your serenade 

Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave 

Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy 

Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy 

Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can 

Listen to your junk man 

Listen to your junk man 

Listen to your junk man 

He's singin', he's singin', he's singin' 

All dressed up in satin, walkin' past the alley 

He's singin', singin', singin', singin'
