From Albanese to Old KC
To California's coast
They're talking about a famous place
And they say it’s the most
I’ve got a story to convey
If you’ve got the time to spare
I’ll tell you how I made it one day
To Washington Square
I thought I’d take a city break
Make the New York scene
I tried to find a place to go
To change the same old routine
I grabbed a cab, ran up the tab
Till I hardly had the fare
In Greenwich Village I got out
Made straight for Washington Square
The air was filled with love and song
There’s freedom everywhere
I get the feeling I belong
'Cause I found happiness there
Yes, I contend, the living end
Is to live without a care
I’ve seen the light, the world’s alright
Right here in Washington Square
I sent back for my swinging group
Piano, drums, and bass
And as we played, each sound we made
Seemed to rock the whole place
We knew this was the scene for us
And we dug the whole affair
We’ve got a home, we’ll never roam
Far from Washington Square
Well, you can pedal a buck or take a turnpike
Go good all do is one
You can come by plane or train if you like
Ride a bus or walk in the sun
Just make New York a heck of croak
And then when you're finally there
Get in the march beneath the arch
Make it to Washington Square
Oh, come on to Washington Square
You gotta get to Washington Square
Make it to Washington Square
