[00:01.05] There's a down town fairy singing out "Proud Mary"
[00:04.06] As she cruises Christopher Street
[00:06.68] And some Southern Queen is acting loud and mean
[00:09.78] Where the docks and the Badlands meet
[00:12.56] This Halloween is something to be sure
[00:18.56] Especially to be here without you
[00:24.03] There's a Greta Garbo and an Alfred Hitchcock
[00:27.27] And some black Jamaican stud
[00:29.78] There's five Cinderellas and some leather drags
[00:32.60] I almost fell into my mug
[00:35.53] There's a Crawford, Davis and a tacky Cary Grant
[00:41.30] And some Homeboys lookin' for trouble down here from the Bronx
[00:47.09] But there ain't no Hairy and no Virgin Mary
[00:50.02] You won't hear those voices again
[00:52.85] And Johnny Rio and Rotten Rita
[00:55.63] You'll never see those faces again
[00:58.51] This Halloween is something to be sure
[01:04.66] Especially to be here without you
[01:10.08] There's the Born Again Losers and the Lavender Boozers
[01:12.83] And some crack team from Washington Heights
[01:15.66] The boys from Avenue B and the girls from Avenue D
[01:18.77] A Tinkerbell in tights
[01:21.29] This celebration somehow gets me down
[01:27.21] Especially when I see you're not around
[01:32.57] There's no Peter Pedantic saying things romantic
[01:35.80] In Latin, Greek or Spic
[01:38.27] There's no Three bananas or Brandy Alexander
[01:41.49] dishing all their tricks
[01:43.90] It's a different feeling that I have today
[01:49.54] Especially when I know you've gone away
[01:55.19] There's a girl from Soho with a teeshirt saying "I Blow"
[01:58.36] She's with the "jive five 2 plus 3"
[02:00.90] And the girls for pay dates are giving cut rates
[02:04.11] Or else doing it for free
[02:06.93] The past keeps knock, knock, knocking on my door
[02:12.52] And I don't want to hear it anymore
[02:17.80] No consolations please for feelin' funky
[02:20.72] I got to get my head above my knees
[02:23.52] But it makes me mad and mad makes me sad
[02:26.68] And then I start to freeze
[02:29.22] In the back of my mind I was afraid it might be true
[02:34.93] In the back of my mind I was afraid that they meant you
[02:42.31] The Halloween Parade
[02:47.74] At the Halloween parade
[02:53.38] At the Halloween parade
[02:58.41] See you next year, at the Halloween parade
