N.Y.C.

What is it about you You're big You're loud You're tough NYC I go years without you Then I Can't get Enough Enough of the cab drivers answering back In the language far from pure Enough of frankfurters answering back Brother, you know you're in NYC Too busy Too crazy Too hot Too cold Too late I'm sold Again! On NYC Come on you slowpokes, We gotta get to the Roxy before the prices change. NYC The shadows at sundown The roofs That scrape The sky NYC The rich and the rundown The big parade goes by No 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!! Oh NYC You make 'em all postcards You crowd You cramp You're still The champ Amen For NYC (NYC) The shimmer of Times Square The pulse The beat The drive! (NYC) 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 Oh, NYC! The whole world keeps coming By bus By train You can't explain their yen for NYC Just got here this morning Three bucks Two bags One me! NYC, I give you fair warning Up there, in lights I'll be! 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 Tomorrow a penthouse that's way up high Tonight--the "Y", why not? It's NYC NYC You're standing room only You crowd, You cramp, You're still the champ! Amen For NY Keep it quiet down there! NYC Immediate seating... there is immediate seating. Popcorn, what do you say to some popcorn? I haven't had popcorn since... Give in, Don't fight, Good girl, Good night, Sleep tight... In NYC.
