City Limit Lights

In the city's limits at dark,
All the lights were in a glow
From corner to corner stood 
The brightness shimmered its shows.

It is something to view at night,
If you haven't been to the city before
Put it on your bucket list,
And go on vacation in New York,
Oh, don't resist!

The hustle and bustle that goes on,
Those street players performing
Whatever their art, craft, or music
They'll be doing some ameliorating,
Be sure they'll do it!

You'll hear the saxophones, 
And the brass horns to
Those series of strings bring them 
Blues players up from Blackwood Gorge.
The Mardi Gra is the city that lives.

Oh, those blues are playing,
Its echoes are from corner to corner
Those brass cymbals are swaying 
Like the slippery, shambling water 
On a tin roof when it's raining.
