[Verse 1]
Uptown people on the corners watching other people play
And while the people watch them play
The players watch the people
On a Greenwich Village day

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 of bargains for everyone who wants to think it

[Verse 3]
What a wonderful day
To make-believe away
But they can't stay
Tomorrow

[Verse 4]
Downtown people on the corners watching other people play
And while the people watch them play
The players watch the people
On a Wall Street kind of day
[Verse 5]
Pinstripe people dressed in colors wearing what they have to say
Some are pinstripe, some are grey
See them masquerading
On a Wall Street kind of day

[Chorus]
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 of bargains for everyone who wants to think it

[Verse 6]
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
