Carole King - Avenue P lyrics

In dreams

It seems

I always see

Avenue P

As it ought to be

In a four-star movie

Directed by me

And starring, of course,

Yours truly,

Rosie

In this fabulous movie

You're all gonna see

An entirely different Avenue P

Imagine me

In a jungle gown!

And Avenue P, a jungle town!

With King Kong

Swinging out of a tree

And carrying me

Over that jungle Avenue P

Right!

You don't have to sit

With your face in a droop

On the stoop

'Cause your mama the boss

Says you better not cross

That old Avenue P

In a jungle you're free!

The tom-tom beats

The tiger carouses

The jungle creeps over the red brick houses

And for chillers and thrillers

I train giant gorillas

To chase mamas and papas

Clippety-cloppety

Thumping their breasts

Roaring, GET OFF MY PROPERTY!

No one's allowed

Who says maybe or no

They gotta get out

They just gotta go

Right!

In dreams

It seems

I always see

Avenue P

As it ought to be

A terrific place

For people like me

You'll see

I'll make it that way

Someday

Avenue P as it ought to be

Avenue P as it ought to be
