New York City Lyrics - Factory Showroom - They Might Be Giants

You called me last night on the telephone 

And I was glad to hear from you 'cause I was all alone 

You said, "It's snowing, it's snowing - God I hate this weather!" 

Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together 

We met in the springtime at a rock-n-roll show 

It was on the Bowery when it was time to go 

We kissed on the subway in the middle of the night 

I held your hand, you held mine, it was the best night of my life 

'Cause everyone's your friend in New York City 

And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty 

The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see 

But the best thing about New York City is you and me

Wish I was there 

You wrote me a letter just the other day 

Said "Springtime is coming soon, so why don't you come to stay?" 

I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I can't believe it's true 

I'm three days from New York City and I'm three days from you 

'Cause everyone's my friend in New York City 

And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty 

The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see 

But the best thing about New York City is you and me
