Paul Gordon - Girl In The Window Display lyrics

[Jerusha Abbott] Daddy, Mr Pendleton has invited Julia, Sallie and me to New York next Friday! I don't believe I'll ever go to Heaven! I'm getting everything I want down here Here on the streets of New York there are Crowds of people A city sequestered in lights Under saffron skies Here on the streets of New York there is Ma** confusion A rhythm of radiant sights Right before my eyes And every window is a stage A girl dressed up and on display And Julia bought herself A Sunday hat Never thinking twice How nice! And you never have to consider the price! [Jervis Pendleton] Here on the streets of New York there are Screams and sirens Candy for your senses So much to choose Here on the streets of New York there is Smoke and sulphur So many new memories Not to lose [Jerusha Abbott] He took us out to see a play If I could tell you how I feel It was the most amazing night of my entire life I pray someday That I'll be the girl in the window display I think if you don't mind That I'd rather be an actress than a writer Wouldn't you like me to leave college and go to a dramatic school? Then you could sit in a box for all my performances And I'll smile at you across the footlights Only wear a red rose in your bu*tonhole, please So I'll be sure to smile at the right man It would be awfully embarra**ing to pick out the wrong one Here on the streets of New York there is Dance and music We trip the light fantastic with the avant garde Here on the streets of New York there is Spark and magic An explosion of intervention on the boulevard He took us to a small café He sat beside me as we dined I used the wrong fork But I don't think that he noticed And I hope I pray We'll have the same kind of night Some day! And I'll be the girl in the window display The girl in the window display
