Mermaid's Avenue - The Klezmatics[00:00:00]
Mermaid Avenue that's the street[00:00:17]
Where the lox and bagels meet[00:00:20]
Where the hot dog meets the mustard[00:00:23]
Where the sour meets the sweet[00:00:26]
Where the beer flows to the ocean[00:00:29]
Where the wine runs to the sea[00:00:31]
Why they call it Mermaid Avenue[00:00:34]
That's more than I can see[00:00:37]
But there's never been a mermaid here[00:00:40]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:00:43]
No I've never seen a mermaid here[00:00:46]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:00:49]
I've seen hags and wags and witches[00:00:51]
And I've seen a shark or two[00:00:55]
My five years that I've lived along[00:00:57]
Old Mermaid's Avenue[00:01:01]
Is five years that I've lived along[00:01:03]
Mermaid's Avenue[00:01:07]
Mermaid Avenue that's the street[00:01:19]
Where the saint and sinners meet[00:01:22]
Where the grey hair meets the wave curls[00:01:25]
Where the cops don't ever sleep[00:01:28]
Where they pay some cops to stop you[00:01:31]
When you hit that Sea Gate gate[00:01:33]
Where them bulls along that wire fence[00:01:36]
Scare the mermaids all away[00:01:39]
Mermaid Avenue that's the street[00:01:42]
Where the sun and storm clouds meet[00:01:45]
Where the ocean meets that rockwall[00:01:48]
Where the boardwalk meets the beach[00:01:51]
Where the prettiest of the maidulas[00:01:54]
Leave their legprints in that sand[00:01:56]
Just beneath our lovesoaked boardwalk[00:01:59]
With the bravest of our lads[00:02:02]
But there's never been a mermaid here[00:02:05]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:02:08]
No I've never seen a mermaid here[00:02:10]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:02:14]
I've seen hags and wags and witches[00:02:16]
And I've seen a shark or two[00:02:19]
My five years that I've lived along[00:02:22]
Old Mermaid's Avenue[00:02:25]
It's five years that we've lived along[00:02:28]
Old Mermaid's Avenue[00:02:31]
Mermaid Avenue that's the street[00:02:59]
Where all colors of goodfolks meet[00:03:02]
Where the smokefish meets the pretzel[00:03:05]
Where the borscht sounds like the seas[00:03:08]
This is where hot Mexican Chili[00:03:11]
Meets Chop Suey and meatballs sweet[00:03:14]
Mermaid Avenue she's a nervous jerk[00:03:16]
But still she's hard to beat[00:03:20]
But there's never been a mermaid here[00:03:25]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:03:28]
No I've never seen a mermaid here[00:03:30]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:03:34]
I've seen hags and wags and witches[00:03:36]
And I've seen a shark or two[00:03:39]
My five years that I've lived along[00:03:42]
Old Mermaid's Avenue[00:03:45]
Is five years that we've lived along[00:03:48]
Old Mermaid's Avenue[00:03:51]
But there's never been a mermaid here[00:03:54]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:03:57]
No I've never never seen a mermaid here[00:03:59]
On Mermaid Avenue[00:04:02]
I've seen hags and wags and witches[00:04:05]
And I've seen a shark or two[00:04:08]
My five years that I've lived along[00:04:10]
Old Mermaid's Avenue[00:04:14]
Is five years that we've lived along[00:04:16]
Old Mermaid's Avenue[00:04:20]
