Well, Give me a BBEE
Now, Give me an AAYE
Give me a C- SEE
And, Give me a K- KAY

I can't wait, it's been too long
I'm tired of things all going wrong
I'm backing down and I don't care
There ain't no room for me there

Don't you think I've tried to sneak in through the back stage door?
But all the guards scream out an acapella ""Nevermore!""
Now at the risk of sounding a trifle indiscreet
Gee, but it's great to be back in the street

Back in the Street now hold the sidewalk down
Well, Back in the Street I'm blowing up the town
Uptown, and Downtown Hold onto your seat
And, Gee, but it's great to be back in the street

Well, I've dragged around a new demeanor
But never really felt the part
You'd think that they had never seen a
Reform in a potential tart

Got my fill of social climbing on the bottom rung
Now I'm sure that the garbage never smelled so sweet
Gee, but it's great to be back in the street (Achoo!)

(Chorus)

First Avenue and Tenth Hello, David Doll!
Fourteenth Street: La Marimba Mall
Fifteenth and Seventh: Once Upon A Time
Christopher Street: That's the scene of the crime!
Eighth Street and Third: There's a Martyred Mark
Forty-second Street: Haunted Chicken Shark!

How I long to feel the hot and humid wind that blew
The dust and all the crumpled papers down the avenue
The sidewalk cracks will make my life complete
Gee, but it's great to be back in the street!

(Chorus)
