Down in front of Casey's
For brownwood and stew
On a summer's evening
We formed a merry group
Boys and girls together
We would sing and ball
While Tony played the organ
On the sidewalks of New York
East side, west side
All around the town
The tocks play ring
The rosy London bridge
Is falling down
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie roar
We drifted life fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York
On the sidewalks of New York
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie roar
We drifted life fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York
I don't want to play in New York
I don't like you anymore
You'll be sorry when you see me
Sliding down our cellar door
I don't want to play in New York
You can't holler down our rain bear
You can't climb our apple tree
I don't want to play in your yard
If you won't be good to me
I don't want to play in New York
I don't want to play in New York


I don't want to play in New York
I don't like you anymore
You'll be sorry when you see me
Sliding down our cellar door
You can't holler down our rain bear
You can't climb our apple tree
Oh, I don't want to play
In your yard
If you won't be good to me
Come away with me, Lucille
In my merry old school field
And the road of life will fly
Out of no bubbling view
And I, to the church
Will swiftly steal
Then our wedding bells will peal
You can go as far as you like
With me in my merry old school field
To the church
We'll swiftly steal
Then our wedding bells will peal
You can go as far as you like
With me in my merry old school field
