The Kinks - Denmark Street lyrics
[The Kinks - Denmark Street lyrics]
Down the way from the Tottenham Court Road
Just round the corner from old Soho
There's a place where the publishers go
If you don't know which way to go
Just open your ears and follow your nose
'Cos the street is shakin' from
The tapping of toes you can hear that music
Play anytime on everyday
Every rhythm, every way
You go to a publisher and play him your song
He says 'I hate your music and
You hair is too long
But, I'll sign you up because
I'd hate to be wrong'
You've got a tune it's in your head
You want to get it placed
So you take it down to a music man
Just to see what he will say
He says "I hate the tune
I hate the words but I'll
Tell you what I'll do
I'll sign you up and take it round the
Street and see if it makes the grade
And you might even hear it played on
The rock 'n' roll hit parade"
Daytime, night time
Every week you can hear that heavy beat
Now the walls are shaking from
The tapping of feet daytime, night time
Every day you can hear that music play
Every rhythm, every way
Just round the corner from old Soho
There's a place where the publishers go
If you don't know which way to go
Just open your ears and follow your nose
'Cos the street is shakin' from
The tapping of toes you can hear that music
Play anytime on everyday
Every rhythm, every way
You go to a publisher and play him your song
He says 'I hate your music and
You hair is too long
But, I'll sign you up because
I'd hate to be wrong'
You've got a tune it's in your head
You want to get it placed
So you take it down to a music man
Just to see what he will say
He says "I hate the tune
I hate the words but I'll
Tell you what I'll do
I'll sign you up and take it round the
Street and see if it makes the grade
And you might even hear it played on
The rock 'n' roll hit parade"
Daytime, night time
Every week you can hear that heavy beat
Now the walls are shaking from
The tapping of feet daytime, night time
Every day you can hear that music play
Every rhythm, every way
