avenue p

in dreams

it seems

i always see

avenue p

as it ought to be

in a four-star movie

directed by me

and starring

of course

yours truly

rosie

in this fabulous movie

you're all gonna see

an entirely different avenue p

imagine me

in a jungle gown!

and avenue p

a jungle town!

with king kong

swinging out of a tree

and carrying me

over that jungle avenue p

right!

you don't have to sit

with your face in a droop

on the stoop

'cause your mama the boss

says you better not cross

that old avenue p

in a jungle you're free!

the tom-tom beats

the tiger carouses

the jungle creeps over the red brick houses

and for chillers and thrillers

i train giant gorillas

to chase mamas and papas

clippety-cloppety

thumping their breasts

roaring

get off my property!

no one's allowed

who says maybe or no

they gotta get out

they just gotta go

right!

in dreams

it seems

i always see

avenue p

as it ought to be

a terrific place

for people like me

you'll see

i'll make it that way

someday

avenue p as it ought to be

avenue p as it ought to be
