Carole King — Avenue P lyrics

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
