Irene - A Musical Comedy: The World Must Be Bigger Than an Avenue - Debbie Reynolds, Jack Lee, George S. Irving

Oh the world must be bigger

than an avenue

9th Avenue, I know

Sure the life is grand

With family and friends

But let’s face it girl

This isn’t where it ends

There’s a place in the land

of opportunity

And it’s calling me to those

So no matter what may happen

I’ll even give a try

I’m not gonna sit here napping

Until the day I die

Oh the world must be bigger

than an avenue

9th Avenue goodbye

Let’s find me a corner

In that world somewhere

Ms. Irene old dare that’s me

You can tell the folks

Around this neighborhood

Here’s one local girl

That’s bent on making good

Just to show you a hero

Who’s got fancy charms

In his waiting arms a bee

I have loved to fill an ocean

And stardust in my eye

So I’ll set my feet in motion

As fast as they can fly

Oh the world must be bigger

than an avenue

9th Avenue goodbye

Just to show me a hero

Who’s got fancy charms

In his waiting arms a bee

I have loved to fill an ocean

And stardust in my eye

So no matter what may happen

I’m giving it a try

Oh the world must be bigger

than an avenue

9th Avenue goodbye
