Christopher Street by Leonard Bernstein Lyrics

[TOUR GUIDE]
On your left, Washington Square
Right in the heart of Greenwich Village

[TOURISTS]
My, what trees, smell that air
Painters and pigeons in Washington Square

[TOUR GUIDE]
On your right, Waverly Place
Bit of Paree in Greenwich Village

[TOURISTS]
My, what charm, my, what grace
Poets and peasants on Waverly Place

[TOUR GUIDE]
Ever since 1870, Greenwich Village has been the bohemian cradle of peasants, writers, actors, et cetera, who've gone on to fame and fortune. Today, in 1935, who knows what future greats live in these twisting alleys? Come along!

Here you see Christopher Street
Typical spot in Greenwich Village
[TOURISTS]
Ain't it quaint, ain't it sweet?
Interesting people on Christopher Street

[TOUR GUIDE]
Such interesting people live on Christopher Street

[TOURISTS]
Such interesting people live on Christopher Street
Poets! Writers! Actors! Dancers!

Here we live, here we love
This is the place for self-expression
Life is mad, life is sweet
Greenwich Village! Greenwich Village! Whee!

(Instrumental break)

Such interesting people live on Christopher Street
Such interesting people live on Christopher Street

Here we live, here we love
This is the place for self-expression
Life is mad, life is sweet
Interesting people living on Christopher Street!
