All's Quiet On West 23rd

Julie Budd

Mrs. Applebee pulled down the shade

And retired to her cozy bed

Officer Warner, round the corner

Sippin' coffee and a makin' time

He never heard the sound's of violence

Emminating from the crime



Chorus:



All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

No



April Stark was in the park

Conducting business from her usual spot

She was witness to what happened

But conveniently forgot

Funky Wheeler, he's no squealer

He flipped his quarter high into the air

He saw their faces, but told detectives,

"I don't know nothing Jack nor do I care"



Chorus:



All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

No



- musical interlude -



Mary's mother asked the question

"Didn't anybody hear?

When my daughter cried out "Help me!"

Didn't anybody care!?"



Chorus:



All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

All's quiet on West 23rd

Nobody saw, nobody heard

All's quiet on West....fade
