N.y.c. Lyrics - Annie

NYC What is it about you 

You're big 

You're loud 

You're tough NYC 

I go years without you 

Then I can't get enough 

Enough of the cab drivers answering back 

In the language far from pure 

Enough of frankfurters answering back 

Brother, you know you're in NYC 

Too busy, too crazy 

Too hot, too cold, too late 

I'm sold again on NYC 

Come on you slowpokes 

We gotta get to the Roxy before the prices change 

NYC 

The shadows at sundown 

The roofs, that scrape, the sky 

NYC 

The rich and the rundown 

The big parade goes by 

What other town has the Empire State 

And a mayor, five foot two 

No other town in the whole forty eight 

Can half compare to you 

Oh, NYC 

You make 'em all postcards 

You crowd, you cramp 

You're still the champ 

Amen For NYC, NYC 

The shimmer of Times Square 

The pulse, the beat 

The drive, NYC 

The city's bright 

As a penny arcade 

It blinks, it tilts, it rings 

To think that I've lived here all of my life 

And never seen these things 

Oh, NYC 

The whole world keeps coming 

By bus, by train 

You can't explain 

Their yen for 

Star to be NYC 

Just got here this morning 

Three bucks, two bags 

One me, 

NYC 

I give you fair warning 

Up there in lights I'll be 

Go ask the Gershwins or Kaufman and Hart 

The place they love the best 

Though California pays big for their art 

Their fan mail comes addressed to NYC 

Tomorrow a penthouse 

That's way up high 

Tonight the "Y" 

Why not? 

It's NYC 

NYC 

You're standing room only 

You crowd, you cramp 

You're still the champ 

Amen For 

NY 

Keep it quiet down there 

C 

Immediate seating, there is immediate seating 

Popcorn, what do you say to some popcorn? 

I haven't had popcorn since 

Give in, don't fight 

Good girl, good night 

Sleep tight in NYC
