Lyrics:
And Romeo wanted Juliette
And Juliette wanted Romeo
Romeo Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses Jesus
runs a comb through his black pony-tail
He's
You better hold on something's happening here
You better hold on---meet you in Tompkins Square
The dopers sent a message to the cops last weekend
Dip and dive, stayin' alive
Shoot me sugar, there it is
Now we talkin' square biz
I'm leaving you without a reas'
What I steal, but a kiss
What you
without me
You're just the kind of a boy who would always play fair
I'm just the kind of a girl who would never be square
It's so hard to let you go but
It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big
left...
I'd let her know that I was no square, that I was hip.
(Sung:)
In the evening, in the evening
In the evening, when the sun go down
In
now have burlesque
And you count the effervescence and the view
But all that stuff that squares is my advice to you
Meet me at the Copa, meet me
Said, if you let my feet upon solid ground
I'll fight you close range, fifteen rounds
Leo got back to the square of the fight
Jo Jo took a leap
I hear people laughing on the corner, by the square
The neon flickers on my wall and I know you're out there
I've been in here a listening for your
I could hear the horns blow
Cynthia on the throne, yeah
Listen to me
Cynthia and Jerry got a message that's sayin'
All the squares, go home,
The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that ev'rything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off
(The happy little birds, flap, flap happy)
(Sunshine everywhere, and everybody's happy)
(As a square at the fair, hoy, hoy)
All the days are
to that big square dance in town.
Well my old radio would play that old opry show,
So I never got lonesome or blue.
I'd fall asleep in my chair
anywhere
Home is anywhere I'm livin'
If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square
Or if I'm workin' on some road gang
Or just livin' off
of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair"
of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair"
the corners of my, my, my, my, my mouth
Colored cottons hang in air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped Djellebas we can wear at home
Well, let me hear ya
I want a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody to care
I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love
I
Spring in Manhattan
Starts after dark
After a lazy afternoon
In Central Park
Washington Square may be where
You'll feel her first warm touch
of the hardware store
Gathered 'round a checkerboard
Old men telling lies and crowning kings
Kids driving 'round the old town square
Tops rolled down in
don't bother me
I've been takin' for a fool
Been takin' for a square
Been used for a tool
And I've been told that I'm nowhere
Bad luck, oh, oh,
There's something solid forming in the air,
The wall of death is lowered in Times Square.
No-one seems to care,
They carry on as if nothing was
and stare
Askin' crazy questions
"Do you braid your hair?" And, "what's l-7 square?"
Standing on the top (top)
On the top getting down, yeah
Standing
you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
