Piano (Basie's solo):
One day I was walkin' n'
Finally came upon a series of alphabet streets
A-B-C and D, but I went for "C"
The most of the hard-to-forget streets
It's really and truly the dilly of all m'pet streets
Tenor sax: Hey, hey, hey everybody now ass: Come go walkin' with me now
Walk up avenue C now
Chicks all lookin' so pretty
They don't give me no pity
Avenue C is the grooviest in the city
Tenor sax: I never dug an avenue so enjoyable to me
"C" Avenue is groovy
Yes it was groovy as it could be ass: Walk with me down Avenue C
Tenor sax: Man I really hope to say ass: Come on baby, while we ramble
Walk beside me while we ramble

What a scenic hike
It's a walk that you're bound to like ass: Y'got "B" on the one side
Reeds: "A" ass: "D" on the other
Reeds: "B" ass: "C" in the middle
Reeds: "C" ass and Reeds: Baby!
Trumpet:
The reason that you're feelin' so down, babe
Is 'cause you live in Stuyvesant Town, babe
I dug you down in Hamilton Fish, babe
And realized that you were my dish, babe
Walkin' home and you can walk with me
Walkin' hand in hand up Avenue C, Oh babe
And while we're walkin' we can do some talkin'
While the people dig us wonderin'
what we're puttin' down
While we, happy as we can be, glide on
Takin' life in stride up to Murphy Park
there beside the river ass: Well our feet got rhythm
Reeds: Pure pedal syncopation ass: 'N when we walk with 'em
Reeds: Demandin' admiration ass: Well our step is snappy
Reeds: Dig people step aside now ass: Because we're so happy
Reeds: We're takin' life in stride now ass: Avenue C your vibrations
are followin' me. Oh yes

Reeds: Me and baby steadily cookin' ass: Yes yes
