Good Morning, Dearie/Way Down Town
- Verse 1
(Chesty) Some people thinks
that the wise-crackin' ginks
Lives away up on Fifth Avenoo.
I'll tell the world it ain't true
Bo! It's a great big
Bally-hoo!
(Rose-Marie) Down by the Battery,
life without flattery
seems to be nearly sublime.
That's what the live ones all shout for
when they're out for a good time
(Chesty) Don't be a dub,
Grab a strap in the "Sub"
going
- Refrain
Way down town we go
All the way down town.
There you see ladies with hair nicely curled
Just like de dames in de
"Joinal and "Woild"
That's the place to be
When the sun goes down.
Dancin', bright eyes,
and some sociable guys
Is away down town.
- Verse 2
(Rose-Marie) You can say "Hey, Bo,"
to any gazabo
Down town, for you know he's your friend.
You're a good bloke when you're broke,
Just as you are when
you can spend!
(Chesty) Talk about Jazzers,
the Lallapazazers
Are down where the Brooklyn Bridge starts
They ain't all over the eyebrows
like the high-brows they've got hearts
Hustle like h-ll,
Till you jump on the "El"
going
- Refrain
Way down town we go
All the way down town.
They never worry 'bout troubles or cares
Now they're all bootleggin'
big millionaires.
That's the place to be
When the sun goes down.
Dancin', bright eyes,
and some sociable guys
Is away down town.
