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
