Tenement Symphony Lyrics & Tabs by Sammy Davis Jr.
Tenement Symphony
guitar chords lyrics
Schubert wrote a symphony
Too bad he didn't finish it
Gershwin took a chord in 'G'
Proceeded to diminish it
I sought a variation
on a theme that I thought pretty
And I found my inspiration
on the east side of the city
The Cohens and the Kellys
The Campbells and Vermicellis
All form a part of my tenement symphony
The Cohen's pianola
The Kellys and their victrola
All warm the heart of my tenement symphony
The Campbells come tumb'lin' down the stairs
The Kellys and their victrola
All warm the heart of my tenement symphony
The Campbells come tumb'lin' down the stairs
Hoodlie-ah, hoodlie-ah, hoodlie-ah
Oh Marie, oh Marie
You'll be late for your date with Izzy.
And from this confusion
I dreamed of a grand illusion
It's my tenement symphony in four flats
And from this confusion
I dreamed of a grand illusion
It's my tenement symphony in four flats
