[YOUNG CALOGERO]
Everywhere I go
Up and down the street
Everyone's my buddy
They're fallin' at my feet
I'm more than a kid
I'm part of the game
They know where I go
Who I'm with, and my name

They call me 'C'

[Ensemble]
C!

[Calogero]
And I like it
Cool as can be

[Ensemble]
C!

[Calogero]
And I like it

Walkin' tall
Feelin' fine
Belmont Avenue's mine
And I like it
The guys down at the pool hall
They're beggin' me to play
The kids up at the corner, all step out of my way
The girls give me looks
That are sweeter than summer
And why, because I am a real up-and-comer

They call me 'C'

[Ensemble]
C!

[Calogero]
And I like it
They smile at me

[Ensemble]
C!

[Calogero]
Yeah, I like it

Things are good
Yes, they are
Life's a big cookie jar
And I like it
Just yesterday! They!
Pushed me aside
Just yesterday! They!
All looked right through me
Suddenly, 'bam!'
The world knows who I am
Life's a carnival ride since Sonny happened to me

[Ensemble]
Bop ow
Wah-oo wah-oo wah-oo wah
Bop ow
Wah-oo wah-oo wah-oo
Sundenly bam!
Hey!
Life's a carnival ride
Wah-oo wah-oo wah-oo wah
Wah-oo wah-oo wah-oo wah

When I'm at the drugstore
My coke don't cost a dime
Over at the newsstand
Free comics all the time
The grocer
The peddler
The whole neighborhood
Wherever I go
I know my money's no good
They call me 'C'!

[Ensemble]
C!

[Calogero]
And I like it
Everything's free

[Ensemble]
C!

[Calogero]
And I like it

Got a style
Got a rep
Got a spring in my step
I got the cash and the crew
All because of guess who
Nothing will be quite the same
Starting with my new name
And I like it
Yeaaah, yeah
I like it
Oh woah
I like it
