/”The Sidewalks of New York/” is a popular song about life in New York City during the 1890s. It was composed in 1894 by vaudeville actor and singer Charles B. Lawlor with lyrics by James W. Blake. It was an immediate and long-lasting hit and is often considered a theme for New York City. Many artists, including Mel Tormé, Duke Ellington, Larry Groce, Richard Barone, and The Grateful Dead, have performed it. Governor Al Smith of New York used it as a theme song for his failed presidential campaigns of 1920, 1924, and 1928. The song is also known as /”East Side, West Side/” from the first words of the chorus. This traditional barbershop arrangement for male voices a cappella is from the SPESQSA.

— LYRICS
East Side, West Side, all around the town
The tots sang /”ring-around-rosie,/” /”London Bridge is falling down/”
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O’Rourke
Tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York
