Tenement Symphony |
Schubert wrote a symphony |
Too bad he didn’t finish it |
Gershwin took a chord in 'G' |
Proceeded to diminish it |
I sought a variation |
On a theme that I thought pretty |
And I found my inspiration |
On the east side of the city |
The Cohens and the Kellys |
The Campbells and Vermicellis |
All form a part of my tenement symphony |
The Cohen’s pianola |
The Kellys and their victrola |
All warm the heart of my tenement symphony |
The Campbells come tumb’lin' down the stairs |
Hoodlie-ah, hoodlie-ah, hoodlie-ah |
Oh Marie, oh Marie |
You’ll be late for your date with Izzy |
And from this confusion |
I dreamed of a grand illusion |
It’s my tenement symphony in four flats |
And from this confusion |
I dreamed of a grand illusion |
It’s my tenement symphony in four flats |
