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
