Best in the City
Best in the city - that's what everyone says
She's always so busy - best to call ahead
She asked me where I'm from - as she cut my hair
Just typical small talk - from a barber's chair - I said
How 'bout you - where you from?
She hesitated as she chewed her gum
She took a sip from her Coca-Cola
And finally said I'm from - Cambodia
She worked all day from morning to dusk
My good friend said getting her is a must
Call ahead cause she's always busy after all she's the best in the city
Cambodia - 40 years since the flight
She was just six years old and held her mom's hands tight
Fled the war not knowing her fate
With her mom and 6 siblings - they all had escaped
Now there's pictures of her kids on the mirror
Her pride and joy couldn't be any clearer
Is this really what it seems
She's the American dream
She said
Should I take a little more off the top
I said no - it's perfect in fact
And there's a bunch of your customers lined out the door
Thanks so much for cutting my hair
Cause after all
You're the best in the city
After all
Best in the city
After all
The best in the city
After all
Best in the city
She's always so busy - best to call ahead
She asked me where I'm from - as she cut my hair
Just typical small talk - from a barber's chair - I said
How 'bout you - where you from?
She hesitated as she chewed her gum
She took a sip from her Coca-Cola
And finally said I'm from - Cambodia
She worked all day from morning to dusk
My good friend said getting her is a must
Call ahead cause she's always busy after all she's the best in the city
Cambodia - 40 years since the flight
She was just six years old and held her mom's hands tight
Fled the war not knowing her fate
With her mom and 6 siblings - they all had escaped
Now there's pictures of her kids on the mirror
Her pride and joy couldn't be any clearer
Is this really what it seems
She's the American dream
She said
Should I take a little more off the top
I said no - it's perfect in fact
And there's a bunch of your customers lined out the door
Thanks so much for cutting my hair
Cause after all
You're the best in the city
After all
Best in the city
After all
The best in the city
After all
Best in the city
