Wine and Peaches Lyrics by Clyde Alves, Colton Ryan, Original Broadway Cast of New York, New York

New York, New York (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2023

[TOMMY, spoken]
Wine and peaches. That's the thing!
[TOMMY, sung]
Some wine, a peach, cures everything
To stem the tears, to ease the heart
A little sweet, a little tart
To still the fear of no escape
A slice of fruit and a taste of grape
I used to have an uncle on Avenue C
The black sheep
With strict instructions
To stay away from me
[JIMMY & TOMMY]
The black sheep
[TOMMY]
Of course, I loved him
The very best of all
Up four flights of stairs to a broken wooden door
The bureau, the cot, the Victrola on the floor
And out came the Chianti, and out came the peach
And he'd cut a slice
And he'd make his little speech:
[TOMMY, spoken]
"Oh, Tomaso! Love! All it takes is a little balance
A lotta daring. And a leap of faith!"
[CONSTRUCTION WORKER, spoken]
That's beautiful. Where's your uncle now?
[TOMMY, spoken]
Doing twenty in Rikers
[TOMMY, JIMMY, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS]
La la! La la! La la!
Wine and peaches, well combined
A glass in hand, and love in mind
To stem the tears, to ease the heart
A little sweet, a little tart
To still the fear of no escape
A slice of fruit and a taste of —
[TOMMY, spoken]
Balance! Daring! And a leap of faith!
[TOMMY, JIMMY, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS]
To still the fear of no escape
A slice of fruit
And a slice of fruit
And a taste of grape
