Rose brice's saloon on henry street is the center of a block party decorated
With banners congratulating fanny. the neighbors and party guests all sing:
All:
Henry street,
No, it ain't broadway, it's henry street.
Way after midnight
Lit up as bright as a lighthouse
Brighter tonight than the white house.
Boys:
We're proud to tell you that c.p.a.'s
We got in dozens, and lawyers, take your choice.
Messes and messes of young d.d.-esses,
A looney who teaches voice,
Girls:
Ah, ha, ha, ha--
All:
Henry street has something it ain't had so far:
The greatest, most glamorous, genuine, glorified
Ziegfeld star.
We're proud to tell you that c.p.a.'s

Ah, ha, ha, ha--
Henry street has something it ain't had so far:
The greatest, most glamorous, genuine, glorified
