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 Roaring, GET OFF 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
