NEW YORK CITY BLUES

Once I said goodbye to New York City, sweet city
I said goodbye, but man I got to give that to you
If I have to walk across the line
I can’t say goodbye to New York City, baby

Hmm, that sweet city,something got to give
You know they tell you it’s a great place to visit
But my heart tells me it’s a better place to live

If I come by plane I can see those buildings high
If I come by boat I can really heave a sigh
If I come by train I can watch those feet go by
If I land in the airport, coming skyways,
Catch a cab that’s going my way
Love the buzzy hum
Yes, that’s my thing
New York City is my town
Yes, well it’s my town
New York, New York is my town

I go uptown, downtown
Big happy sad town
And I’ll go uptown, downtown
Big happy sad town
East Side, West Side
East Side. West Side
All around that town

I love the people
Yes, the people
And how they make the big town swing
In the autumn, in the winter, in the summer and the spring
Yes the people and every little thing

Yes, I’ll go uptown, downtown
I’ll go uptown, downtown
In the East Side and in the Westside
New York is my city
Meet your sugar rays, baby , New York
New York
