I've Got New York
Surprise! It's me!
It's drunk, I'm three!
For a couple of hours, the city was my dance floor
Then I wandered around
Wondering why you don't love me anymore
Surprise! I'm real!
I think and feel!
And I used to be the person who was somewhere
So I can't imagine why I'm wasting quarters on the telephone to say:
I've got New York all to myself!
From the great white way
To little West 12th
From the big blue bridge
To the Hudson's swells
I've got New York all to myself
The day is gone, the night is too
Everywhere to go but nothing to do
I had a lover once but that fell through
I've got New York, but I ain't got you
Got all New York to be lonely in!
Got cigarettes and I've got gin!
And though I feel just like I've got no skin
I've got New York and the winter wind
It's drunk, I'm three!
For a couple of hours, the city was my dance floor
Then I wandered around
Wondering why you don't love me anymore
Surprise! I'm real!
I think and feel!
And I used to be the person who was somewhere
So I can't imagine why I'm wasting quarters on the telephone to say:
I've got New York all to myself!
From the great white way
To little West 12th
From the big blue bridge
To the Hudson's swells
I've got New York all to myself
The day is gone, the night is too
Everywhere to go but nothing to do
I had a lover once but that fell through
I've got New York, but I ain't got you
Got all New York to be lonely in!
Got cigarettes and I've got gin!
And though I feel just like I've got no skin
I've got New York and the winter wind
