Why Should I Worry
One minute I'm in Central Park
Then, I'm down on the Lance Street
Said, from the Bowery to St Mark's
There's a syncopated beat, alright
Say ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
I'm streetwise, I can improvise
Said, ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
I'm street-smart
I've got New York City heart
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just the be-bopulation
And I got street savoir faire, hmm
The rhythm of the city
Boy once you get it down
Said, you can own this town
You can wear the crown
Why should I worry? Tell me!
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime, oh
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just the doo-opulation
And I got street savoir faire
Ev'rything goes
Ev'rything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz
Why should I worry? Tell me!
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime, oh
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
Even when I cross the line
I got street savoir faire
Then, I'm down on the Lance Street
Said, from the Bowery to St Mark's
There's a syncopated beat, alright
Say ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
I'm streetwise, I can improvise
Said, ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
I'm street-smart
I've got New York City heart
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just the be-bopulation
And I got street savoir faire, hmm
The rhythm of the city
Boy once you get it down
Said, you can own this town
You can wear the crown
Why should I worry? Tell me!
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime, oh
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just the doo-opulation
And I got street savoir faire
Ev'rything goes
Ev'rything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz
Why should I worry? Tell me!
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime, oh
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
Even when I cross the line
I got street savoir faire
