[Verse 1]
NYC
What is it about you?
You're big
You're loud
You're tough
[Verse 2]
NYC
I go years without you
Then I
Can't get
Enough
[Verse 3]
Enough of cab drivers answering back
In language far from pure
Enough of frankfurters answering back
Brother you know you're
In NYC
To busy too crazy
Too hot
Too cold
Too late
I'm sold
Again
On NYC
[Verse 4]
NYC
The shadows at sundown
The roofs
That scrape
The sky
[Verse 5]
NYC
The rich and the rundown
The big
Parade
Goes by
[Verse 6]
What other town has the Empire state
And a mayor five foot two
No other town in the whole forty eight
Can half compare to you
[Verse 7]
Oh NYC
You make 'em all postcards
You crowd, you cramp
You're still the champ
Amen for NYC
[Verse 8]
The shimmer of Time Square
The pulse
The beat
The drive
[Verse 9]
You might say that I'm square
But damn
I come alive
The city's bright as a penny arcade
It blinks, it tilts, it rings
To think that I've lived here all of my life
And never seen these things
[Verse 10]
Oh NYC
The whole world keeps coming
By bus
By train
You can't
Explain
They'll yearn
For
[Verse 11]
NYC
Just got here this morning
Three bucks
Two bags
One me
[Verse 12]
NYC
I give you fair warning
Up there
In lights
I'll be
[Verse 13]
Go ask the Gershwins or Kaufman and Hart
The place they love the best
Though California pays big for their art
Their fan mail comes addressed
To NYC
[Verse 14]
Tomorrow a penthouse
That's way up high
Tonight
The Y
Why not
It's NYC
[Verse 15]
NYC
You're standing room only
You crowd
You cramp
You're still
The champ
Amen for NYC
