52nd Street Lyrics
Billy Joel
They say it takes a lot to keep a love alive
In every heart, there pumps a different beat
But if we shift the rhythm into overdrive,
Well, we could generate a lot of heat
On 52nd Street
Oh oh, on 52nd Street
We're gonna have a little show parade
Before they know the second bar was played
We're gonna slip it to 'em short and sweet
On 52nd Street
Oh yeah!
