August in the city 90 degrees

The streets are full of arms and legs

The audience is hangin' on the corner

Just waitin' for some bones to beg

The sniper and the moving target

I can't talk talk talk until my face turn blue

Hey girl, you, girl put that right here

This what I'll do to you

But I live, I live, I live on this street

The dogs are speakin' the men are howlin'

When we take our parts out for a walk

I could say, I should say, I would say

Does your mama know about the way you talk

Somewhere in egypt I'm worth 4 camels

A strong healthy girl like me

On 42nd street it's a quarter to look

But the women outside are free

But I live, I live, I love on this street

He's the ruler of the pavement

He owns all that he can see

On 42nd street it's a quarter to look

But the women outside are free

I live, I live, I love on this street

Repeat three times
