I live on the West side, she lives on the East side of the stree-ee-eet
    Dm                                     Bb
And though they say that East is East, and West is West,

and never the twain shall meet

     Bb                 A           Bb                     A
Each morning I face her window, and pray that our love can be
           Dm                        Bb
Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives

And though her folks say we're too young, to know of love,
                 F
I worship at her shrine

     Bb                 A           Bb                     A
Each morning I face her window, and pray that our love can be

Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
