Lyrics
All the streets in our fair city are one and the same
So I leave it to you, what’s in a name?
Are the folks who live on a street like eleventh
Any finer than the family on a hundred and seventh?
I settle each issue by telling the squawker
“If you live in New York, be glad you’re a New Yorker”
Refrain
I tell you ev’ry street’s a boulevard in old New York
Ev’ry street’s a highway of your dreams
Why! it’s a thrill to shop on thirty fourth street
Or down in Union Square
I like the people you meet on Mulberry street
Have you ever been there?
Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in old New York
So keep smiling and you’ll never wear a frown
Just remember there’s the east side and the west side
And uptown and down
That’s why I’m proud to be the mayor of your town
