Old new york city is a friendly old town,
|
From washington heights to harlem on down.
|
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around,
|
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down.
|
|
It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate
|
To rockefeller center n' the empire state.
|
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird,
|
Old mister rockefeller never says a word.
|
|
From the country,
|
Livin' down in new york town
