New York City Life
Once upon a time you dressed just right
Threw the bums a dime and went out to pay your taxes
Sold your car got on the Greyhound line
Went up north to find a place to where your back in
All along the way you thought about where you would be
Nobody telling you where when how
Why or what that you could see
Cause it's that New York
New York City Life
Jack and Jill went up the hill way past 42nd street and Broadway
Looking for a place to stay looking for a place where the streets have numbers not names
Lived the night life hard got a Master's degree in public relations
Trying to live the fast life but they ran out of all of their precious time
Yes we're on the road we just keep on hanging on
Yes were on the road we just keep on hanging on
Yes it's that New York
New York City Life
Yes it's that New York
New York City Life
Then one night like a light we got into the right situation
Starring down the subway lines up and down tracks and tribulations
Yes were on the road we just keep on hanging on
Yes were on the road we just keep on hanging on
Well it's that New York
New York City Life
Well it's that New York
New York City Life
It's that New York
New York City Life
