New York (Studio Cast Recording)

It's the capital city

Of the USA (it's not)

The city I swore I would see for myself one day

But you've actually been to New York before?

Yes, uh, no

But I've seen Home Alone 2 quite a few times

Are you serious?

There's pizza for breakfast

There's steam in the air

It's candy, not sweets

And the streets are called sidewalks there

My town

Where everyone has an apartment to spare with a skyline view

And even improbable dreams come true

Where everything comes with a smile, a high five and a side of cheese

I'm down on my knees

New York!

I'm already talkin' the talk

New York!

I'm already popping the cork

'Cause I'm ready

I'm ready to be in New York

Are they ready?

Are they ready for me in New York?

Is that Times Square?

Nope, that's Queens

Awesome!

She's called the Big Apple

No one knows why

But she's my kind of town, and I'm her kind of street-smart guy

I'll stroll up the Broadway

I'll order a beer

I'll scream at the Statue of Liberty

"Hey Lady! I'm walkin' here!"

My home

The city of stories where everything's 70 stories high

Where everyone kisses their blues goodbye

The cinema city I've waited the whole of my life to see

Are you talkin' to me?

Is that what I think it is?

What do you think it is?

New York!

I'm already talkin' the talk

In New York!

I'm already popping the cork

'Cause I'm ready

I'm ready to be in New York

Are they ready?

Are you ready for me in New York?

It's the City of Angels

It's the City of Sin

It's a city of immigrants, buddy, I'll fit right in

The land of the brave

The home of the free

The liberty city where even my father wants to hang out with me

Home

There's snow in the city tomorrow, just see it come twinkling down

And that's why they all call it Tinseltown

There's hundreds of thousands of people

Just living the dream out there

And there's love in the air

Okay, we're about to leave the train, and then we're gonna be in New York

Yes

You're not gonna freak out?

No

New York!

I'm already talkin' the talk

In New York!

I'm already popping the cork

'Cause I'm ready

I'm ready to be in New York

Are they ready?

Are they ready for me in New York?

For two whole days

I'll literally be in New York!

NYC, JFK, FBI, CIA

See, I'm already talking the talk

And I'm ready

I'm ready to be in New York

Yes, I'm ready

Are you ready for me

Are you ready for me

Are you ready for me

In New York?
