We're going on a journey, Jelly
You and me
Into the deepest, darkest part of the night
And it's a sweet little song we're gonna sing
And once the music starts
There's no turning back
First stop, New York City
Now, it's true
That in Chicago they love themselves some Roll
But when he left there and went to New York, well
There it was feeling of soul, ala the Roll
ย
Good Ole New York
Our kind of town
Big time bucks and Broadway palaces
Funk your soul and hit the heights
Front page pictures in the paper and
Presto, there's your name in lights
New York, look out
I own you, starting now
I'll make you shout
Stand back, 'cause I know how
Step right up, your dream is waiting
It's time to pop your card
So welcome to Good Ole New York
Ole town (you wanna go where they know how to syncopate?)
Ole town (how ol' mother, yeah, do we have to elucidate?)
A place for the paces is strictly jazz
Harlem
