Wall Street Village Day - Frankie Valli, The Four Seasons

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
