Lyrics On The Town: New York, New York - Live From Barbican Centre, London 1992 - London Symphony Orchestra , Michael Tilson Thomas , Leonard Bernstein , Thomas Hampson , David Garrison

Come on, Gaby, hurry up
Twenty-four hours
Hey, why don't you look where you're going?
You'd think it was your first time in New York
It is
New York, New York
New York, New York
It's a hell of a town
We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights
We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights
But we've hair on our chests so what we like's the best of the nights
Sights, lights
New York, New York, a hell of a town
The Bronx is up but the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, New York, it's a hell of a town
Hey, Gaby
Gaby, look
Gaby, it says here there are 20,000 streets in New York
Not counting MacDougal Alley in the heart of Greenwich Village
A charming thoroughfare filled with- Here we go again
The famous places to visit are so many or so the guidebooks say
I promised Daddy I wouldn't miss not any when we have just one day
Gotta see the whole town from Yonkers on down to the bay
In just one day
New York, New York, a visitor's place
Where no one lives on account of the pace
But seven millions are screaming for space
New York, New York, it's a visitor's place
Hey, look who's coming back
It's Tom and Andy
Hey, Tom, Andy
Hey, fellas, how were the New York days?
Wonderful
I don't remember a thing
Awful
I remember everything
Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin, or so the fellas say
There's just one thing that's important
To Manhattan when you have just one day
Gotta pick up a date
Maybe seven
Or eight on your way
In just one day
New York, New York, a hell of a town
The Bronx is up but the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, New York, it's a hell of a town
