East side, West side
All around the town
The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie'
'London Bridge is falling down!
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie O'Rorke
We Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York
Things have changed since those times
And some are up in "G,"
Others are wand'rers
But all feel just like me
They would part with all they've got
Could they but once more walk
With their best girl and have a twirl
On the Sidewalks of New York
East side, West side
All around the town
The tots sang 'Ring-a-Rosie'
'London Bridge is falling down!
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie O'Rorke
We Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York
The Sidewalks of New York was written by Charles B. Lawlor.
