lirik lagu please don’t monkey with broadway – cole porter
(verse)
[johnny and king]
due to landscape gardeners gifted
knickerbocker sp-ces are being lifted
so much
that you hardly know it as such
all the streets are being dressed up
so before they ruin broadway, i suggest that
you go
to the city fathers and say, “whoa!”
(chorus)
[johnny]
glorify sixth avenue
[king]
and put bathrooms in the zoo
[johnny and king]
but please don’t monkey with broadway
[king]
put big floodlights in the park
[johnny]
and put harlem in the dark
[johnny and king]
but please don’t monkey with broadway
though it’s tawdry and plain
it’s a lovely old lane
full of landmarks galore and memories g-y
[johnny]
so move grant’s tomb to union square
[king]
and put brooklyn anywhere
[johnny and king]
but please, please, i beg on my knees don’t monkey with old broadway
(chorus 2)
[johnny]
plant trees in the polo grounds
[king]
and put yorkville out of bounds
[johnny and king]
but please don’t monkey with broadway
[king]
close the village honkytonks
[johnny]
and suppress cheering in the bronx
[johnny and king]
but please don’t monkey with broadway
think what names used to dance
on this road of romance
think what stars used to stroll along it all day
make city hall a skating rink
and push wall street in the drink
but please, please, i beg on my knees don’t monkey with old broadway
