Lyrics

Standing on a corner just me and Uncle Warner We was waiting for Jerry to land Up come a man with a guitar in his hand Singing "Have a marijuana if you can" His name was David Peel, we found that he was real He sang the folks for the stove every day Up come the policeman, drove us up the street Singing "Power to the people today" New York City New York City New York City Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey hey Well, down to Max's City Went down the nitty gritty With the Elephant's Memory Band Played something down as the news spread around About the plastic on Elephant's Memory Band Well, played some funky boogie and laid some beauty beauty Singing "Long Tall Sally's the man" Up come the preacher man trying to be a teacher Singing "Got the red herring in drag" New York City New York City New York City Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey hey Hey, New York City Alright, New York City New York City Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey hey Well, we took the Staten Island Ferry Making movies for the teleplay The Belmont and Apollo for freedom Tried to shake our image of the cycling through the village But we found that we had left it back in London Well, nobody came to focus Plus the lesser jobless We decided to make it our home The man wants to shove us down We're gonna jump and drown The Statue of Liberty said "Come" New York City To New York City New York City Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey hey Ah, boogie Hey, boogie Come on Hey, New York City Back in New York City Hey, New York City Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey city Down in the village Hey, what a city Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey lock on Ah, boogie Yeah Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey what a bad, bad city Bad, bad city Bad, bad city Get back to New York Get back to New York, hey boogie, boogie I want you to boogie
