Dreams of a Kitten

Page 131

That's where Johnny Casey,

And little Jimmy Crowe,

With Jakey Krause the baker,

Who always had the dough,

Pretty Nellie Shannon,

With a dude as light as cork,

First picked up the waltz step

On the sidewalks of New York.

Things have changed since those times,

And some are up in "G,"

Others are wand'rers.

But all feel just like me,

They would part with all they've got,

Could they but once more walk,

With their best girl and have a twirl,

On the Sidewalks of New York.

East side, West side,

All around the town,

The tots sang “Ring-a-Rosie,

London Bridge is falling down!”

Boys and girls together,

Me and Mamie O'Rourke,

Tripped the light fantastic

On the sidewalks of New York.

East side, West side,

All around the town,

The tots sang “Ring-a-Rosie,

London Bridge is falling down!”

Boys and girls together,

Me and Mamie O'Rourke,

Tripped the light fantastic

On the sidewalks of New York.
