New York City Pakistan Lyrics - The Roches

I'm gonna work a couple a years here 

then I'm gonna go home 

where they treat women with respect 

and don't make 'em go out of the house and work 

That's how the home gets wrecked." 

If you want to meet a man from Pakistan 

you might try riding in a New York City taxi cab 

and if you are so inclined as to ask the man about his country 

I think that you will find it is a very different place 

from New York. 

I got in the cab and the man started to tell me about his 

family 

and he said "Miss are you interested in my country?" 

And I said "Yes." 

So there we were and I found out about his country. 

"Well" he said "l come from a place that is so much more 

relaxed than here" and he told me that I would not believe 

the difference 

and I said to him "How would you explain it to me?" 

And he said "l'm gonna work a couple a years here 

and then I'm gonna go home 

where they treat women with respect 

and don't make 'em go out of the house and work."
