You want to be an actress
|
And step down on the stage
|
You are going to the school juliard
|
To learn how to strut so high and proud
|
Make me stand up and notice
|
That you are not afraid
|
I believe in you
|
And I believe you'll have it made
|
I cut out my heart
|
And nail it away
|
Save it for your summer holiday
|
You'll forget about me
|
When your name is on the marquee
|
And the rich boys come out to play
|
Upon Avenue "A"
|
You've got your reasons
|
And I've got mine
|
I'll nail your cards and letter on the wall
|
To remind me that you are still out there
|
|
Because I won't know the girl on the screen at all
|
Cut out my heart
|
And nail it away
|
And save it for your summer holiday
|
You'll forget about me
|
When your name is on the marquee
|
And your up on Avenue "A"
|
Cut out my heart
|
And nail it away
|
And save it for your summer holiday
|
Teach them how to laugh and feel
|
When they put you to the test
|
For there is something special in you
|
That you must express
|
Don't forget about me
|
When your name is on the marquee
|
And the rich men come to stay
|
Up on Avenue "A"
|
Up on Avenue "A"
|
|

Avenue A
