(Verse 1) On Jenkins Avenue, 2nd Street at night, The lamplight flickers, shadows bend just right. A trumpet whispers to the drifting moon, And time keeps swaying in a velvet tune. (Chorus) Oh, Jenkins Avenue, 2nd Street, Where strangers and lovers and old friends meet. The rhythm’s alive in the tapping feet, On Jenkins Avenue, 2nd Street. (Verse 2) A saxophone sighs with a gentle cry, While smoke curls lazy, reaching for the sky. The midnight hum of a city’s beat, Carries me home through the pouring heat. (Chorus) Oh, Jenkins Avenue, 2nd Street, Where shadows and laughter refuse defeat. The night keeps swinging, the scene’s complete, On Jenkins Avenue, 2nd Street. (Bridge) Maybe tomorrow will fade away, But tonight the music is here to stay. I lose myself where the echoes meet, On Jenkins Avenue, 2nd Street. (Outro) The dawn creeps slow, the lights grow weak, But I’ll remember the song so sweet— That jazz forever beneath my feet, On Jenkins Avenue, 2nd Street.
