Oh the world must be bigger
than an avenue
9th Avenue, I know
Sure the life is grand
With family and friends
But let’s face it girl
This isn’t where it ends
There’s a place in the land
of opportunity
And it’s calling me to those
So no matter what may happen
I’ll even give a try
I’m not gonna sit here napping
Until the day I die
Oh the world must be bigger
than an avenue
9th Avenue goodbye
Let’s find me a corner
In that world somewhere
Ms. Irene old dare that’s me
You can tell the folks
Around this neighborhood
Here’s one local girl
That’s bent on making good
Just to show you a hero
Who’s got fancy charms
In his waiting arms a bee
I have loved to fill an ocean
And stardust in my eye
So I’ll set my feet in motion
As fast as they can fly
Oh the world must be bigger
than an avenue
9th Avenue goodbye
Just to show me a hero
Who’s got fancy charms
In his waiting arms a bee
I have loved to fill an ocean
And stardust in my eye
So no matter what may happen
I’m giving it a try
Oh the world must be bigger
than an avenue
9th Avenue goodbye
