Sheryl Lee Ralph feat. Original Broadway Cast of Thoroughly Modern Millie -
Thoroughly Modern Millie (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Only in New York
The wonders of the world
are said to stop at seven.
But truth to tell, my figures don't agree.
I number them at eight,
With one so close to heaven
The others pale
their magic stale
just take a look and see!
Step right up
to treasure isle
every inch of it a sky high mile!
Fairy-tale land
Only in New York!
Hey! castle-builder!
want the moon
and nothing less?
Work for years
an over-night sucess!
I know firsthand.
Only in New York!
Each day it's free admission
to those who dream.
You
Set your sights
All the way
upstream!
Off you go!
For you know that cream will rise!
Make that wish!
Seek that thrill!
Come and get it!
Cause you always will.
Strike up the band.
Only in New York!
Each day it's free
admission to those who dream.
You
set your sights
All the way upstream!
Off you go! for you know that cream will
Rise!
Rise!
New! improved
and real-ranged
it's ever-changing
yet it's
Never changed!
Life on command.
Hear what I'm saying?
Oh!
But it's grand.
That's why I'm staying
Right here, as planned!
Only in New York!
Only in New York!
Only
in
New
Yooooooooooooooork!
