ON THE AVENUE
(Fred Freed (m) Harold Rome (l) )

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Carmen Cavallaro (piano)
& Vic Schoen and his Orchestra
May 29th 1947 New York


On the avenue,
When I walk with you,
(whistling)
I can hear a song
As we stroll along.
(whistling)
If you smile at me
It's a melody.
(whistling)
When you say you care,
Music fills the air.
(whistling)

My heart is singing to you
An operetta or two,
A serenade
As we parade.
I'll bet the folks in the street,
And all the friends that we meet,
Can hear it play
As clear as day!

Though I try to stop,
I'm a music shop
(whistling)
When I walk with you
On the avenue.
(whistling)

On the avenue,
When I walk with you,
I can hear a song
As we stroll along.
If you smile at me
It's a melody.
When you say you care,
Music fills the air.

My heart is singing to you
An operetta or two,
A serenade
As we parade.
I'll bet the folks in the street,
And all the friends that we meet,
Can hear it play
As clear as day!

Though I try to stop,
I'm a music shop
(whistling)
When I walk with you
On the avenue.
(whistling)
