I'll Take New York Lyrics - Franks Wild Years - Tom Waits

I'll tip the newsboy 

I'll get a shine 

I'll ride this dream 

to the end of the line 

I'm goin places 

I'll take a ride 

Up to the Riverside 

I'll take NY 

I'll let it happen 

I'll pop the cork 

tear off the wrappin' 

I'll make a splash on the Hudson 

that's how I will arrive 

Hey, do you have two tens for a five? 

Roll out the carpet 

Strike up the band 

break into the best 

champagne when I land 

Beat the parade drum 

hit all the bars 

I want the moon and stars 

But I'll take NY 

I'll make it happen 

Blow out the candlels 

tear off the wrappin' 

And I know someday 

they'll have to name a street after me 

right next door to old Franklin D
