Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies

I've seen the lights go out on broadway
I saw the empire state laid low
And life went on beyond the palisades
They all bought cadillacs and left there along ago

Come and meet
Those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you to
Forty-second street.

It's at Portage and Main you'll see them again
On their way to the hills of Alberta
With lop-side grins, they waggle their chins
And they brag of the wage they'll be earning
Then it's quick, pull the string boys, and get the loot out
Haul it away, haul it away
But just two years ago you could hear the same shout
Where the whales make free in the harbor

- Stan Rogers, Free in the Harbor

Deborah in IL said...

Well everybody better move over that's all
I'm running on the bad side, got my back to the wall
Tenth Avenue freeze out
Tenth Avenue freeze out

Bruce Springsteen

On Raglan Road on an autumn day
I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I might one day rue

But when I kissed a copy down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9

On the avenue, 5th Avenue,
