Between 18th & 19th On Chestnut Street
Bing Crosby & Connee Boswell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An eatin' place, drinkin' place of great renown
Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah
There is a rib joint where the folks all meet
Meet ev'ry mornin' for to drink and eat
It's not so high class but it can't be beat
Between 18th and 19th on Chestnut Street
You hear piano played by Stacy Trent
He is a famous boogie woogie gent
You ought to stop there if you're pleasure bent
Between 18th and 19th on Chestnut Street
Come along some night, if you're feelin' right
Wear a cloud for a hat
You have a reservation
For some daybreak syncopation
That's where the Hoiti Toi meet the Hoi Polloi
The man that owns it is Sylvester Brown
His girl friend Bessie wears a rhinestone gown
It's on the south side at the edge of the town
Between 18th and 19th on Chestnut Street
The man that owns it is Sylvester Brown
His girl friend Bessie wears a rhinestone gown
It's on the south side at the edge of the town
Between 18th and 19th on Chestnut Street
Between 18th and 19th on Chestnut Street

Bing and Connee were always utterly magnificent together -- great rapport and and at least the appearance of spontaneity in their banter. Who wouldn't love to join them at this rib joint?
