Lyrics Carole King

Carole King

Avenue P

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 and roaring

Get off of 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

Avenue P as it ought to be
