Wall Street Village Day

Uptown people on the corner watching other people play
And while the people watch them play
The players watch the people
On a Greenwich Village day
Paisley people dressed in colors wearing what they have to say
Some are paisley, some are grey
See them masquerading
On a Greenwich Village day
People there for the show
They came to see — what, they don’t know
The Village stores are filled with all kinds of groovy trash and trinkets
And there are scores, the bottoms for everyone who wants to think it
What a wonderful day
To make-believe away
But they can’t stay
Tomorrow
Downtown people on the corner watching other people play
And while the people watch them play
The players watch the people
On a Wall Street kind of day
Pinstripe people dressed in colors wearing what they have to say
Some are paisley, some are grey
See them masquerading
On a Wall Street kind of day
People there for the show
They came to see — what, they don’t know
The Uptown stores are filled with all kinds of stylish trash and trinkets
And there are scores, the bottoms for everyone who wants to think it
What a wonderful day
To make-believe away
But who’s to say
You call the game another name
It’s still the same
On a Wall Street Village day
