Piper - 42nd Street lyrics

Squier-McGary Keep the faith child, whatcha say to me Ah, let me tell ya what those pretty eyes can't see You're carousin' over London town You got some cheshire cats chasin' you around Me, I'm sittin' on my window seat I watch the ladies down on 42nd street I'm a man of reputation I would never steal your pride I'm a man of obligation I don't need to hide I'm sore for drinkin', oh its been so long My nights seem endless and I'm really not that strong And I can see you, have you in my sleep But nightmares from the bottle, they ain't hardly fit to keep, no In my trials and tribulations I have never been in doubt I don't feign intimidation I can't do without So now I'm sittin', wearin' through my pants Too much sufferin' and not enough romance Now I'm hangin' from my window seat Drool on the ladies down on 42nd street I'm a man of reputation I would never make you pay I'm in need of some relations Just can't stand another day I'm a man of consternation I can't stand to be alone I'm a victim of temptation You best not leave me on my own You just might be sorry honey
