Tony Lucca - New York City Lyrics
It's freezin', it's February, I'm in New York CityTryin' to hail a taxi cab on Seventh AveSee I'm headed uptown now, and well he's headed downSays it's probably gonna cost more than I haveWellSo I walk the sunny side of the streetThink about my friends back homePicture myself drivin' with the windows downBefore I knew it, I wasn't cold anymoreDecided to make the most of this crazy townSee they got their shit together there in that New York CityPatience and persistence fill the air nowYeah, they're all in a mission in that New York CityKnow just what they want the fastest way thereIn New York CityI walk into this Village pub, Say, "It's five o'clock somewhere"Make conversation with the bartenderShe's cuttin' limesI ask about her accent, do my best to describe mineShe says, "Is it true in California the sun always shines?"I said, "It rains on occasion, but for the most part it's like a Saturday in Central Park in mid-September."She said, "Well, this one's on the house."I said, "Why thank you, what was your name again?"Knowing me, I won't rememberYeah, they keep it all together there in that New York CityHugs and middle fingers everywhere nowYeah, it's like one big family there in that New York CityHard timesGod knows they've had their fair shareIn New York CityIn New York CityIt's freezin', it's February, I'm in New York CityTryin' to hail taxi cab on Seventh AveSee, he's headed uptown now and well, I'm goin' downWhy does everything here cost more than I have?
