Lyrics

When you first get to New York City You can't help but feel the music in your feet Yes, even underneath skyscrapers It goes tearin' through the ground up through the street While they may prefer you not to stay too long Or hang around too long Taking pictures of them living their lives The New York City people Will be glad to share the music for a while When I first came to New York City I was on my way to Moscow with the choir But, at fifteen, I was forgetful Left my papers in St. Louis How the fates, they do conspire With my handsome chaperone to lead me there He took me to Times Square While the choir did fly to Moscow Who cares, now that I am here Oh, let them go, I'll stay another year In New York City Where the boys look back when you smile Oh, let me stay here for a little while Here in New York City And, if you go to New York City Don't forget to bring her something in return She may have mountains like no other But she's got ruins where the stars forget to burn And, while she may not give you everything you ask She'll give you what she can She's busy holdin' fast Singin' to the dreamers who keep landin' on her shores And to the ones still sleeping on her subway floors And does she always seem to have her own go on board Here in New York City
