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.
