Verse:

Down in front of Ca -sey's

Old brown wood -en stoop,

On a sum -mer's eve -ning,

We formed a mer -ry group;

Boys and girls to -geth -er,

We would sing and waltz,

While To -ny played the or -gan on

The Side -walks Of New York.

 

Chorus:

East side, West side,

All a -round the town,

The tots sang "ring a ros -ie,"

"Lon -don Bridge is fall -ing down."

Boys and girls to -geth -er,

Me and Ma -mie O' Rorke,

Tripped the light fan -tas -tic

On The Side -walks Of New York.
