NYC
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) NYC
Too busy, too crazy
Too hot, too cold, too late
I´m sold again on NYC

NYC
The shadows at sundown
The roofs, that scrape, the sky
NYC
The rich and the rundown
The big parade goes by

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
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

NYC
Just got here this morning
Three bucks, two bags
One me
NYC
NYC
I give you fair warning
Up there in lights I´ll be
NYC

You´re standing room only
You crowd, you cramp
You´re still the champ
Amen for NYC
