Overture - Cotton Avenue |
| A red sun came rolling down a grey sky |
| And the frogs and dogs and night birds then |
| Started up singing sweet country lullaby |
| You see that patch of city lights- |
| Somewhere in there’s cotton avenue- |
| That’s where i’m going to take myself tonight |
| With a spit shine on my dancing shoes |
| If you got a place like that to go |
| You just have to go there |
| If you got no place special |
| Well then, you just go no place special |
| I guess it’s just the summer in the young blood |
| Ripe and juicy in the young blood |
| Teasing to go down to … |
| Cotton avenue |
| To hear the shiny shiny music |
| See all the shiny people dancing to it |
| Anytime you go to … |
| Cotton avenue |
| If you got a place like that to go |
| You know you got to go there |
| If you got no place special |
| Well then, you just go no place special |
| You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky |
| By the time it hits here i’ll be dancing high and dry |
| To rhythm and blues |
| On cotton avenue |
| Poor boys’ll be hanging around outside in the street |
| They got all the latest words |
| They’re dancing to the latest beat |
| While they’re hustling and sizing you |
| On cotton avenue |
| If you got a place like that to go |
| You just have to go there |
| If you’ve got no place special |
| Well my dear |
| You just so no place … special |
