paroles de chanson New York's My Home - Sammy Davis

Listen all you New Yorkers, there's a rumour going round
That some of you good people want to leave this town
Well, you better consult with me before you go (yeah?)
'Cause I've been to all those places and I know

(Chicago?)
Well, Chicago's all right
It's got Marshall Field and Soldier's Field
And it's on a nice lake

But it hasn't got the hansoms in the park
It hasn't got a skyline after dark
(That's why New York's his home)
Let me never leave it
New York's my home, sweet home

(San Francisco?)
San Francisco is a lovely place, it's got lots of hills
And lots of thrills
And it's near an ocean of some size

But it hasn't got the Bowery or The Bronx
It hasn't got the Harlem honkytonks
(That's why New York's his home)
Yeah, it's my favorite city
New York's my home, sweet home

(Saint Louis?)
Lots of people like Saint Louis
It's got lots of shoes and the Saint Louis blues
And one of our larger rivers runs by

But let's face it
It hasn't got the opera in the Met
It hasn't got a famous string quartet
(That's why New York's his home)
No, not a place to visit
New York's my home, sweet home

(Hollywood?) Hollywood
Hollywood's got movie stars and movie czars and cocktail bars
And the shiny cars and a wonderful climate
They say

But it hasn't got the handy subway trains
You seldom find a taxi when it's pouring down rain
(That's why New York's his home)
Yeah, take your California
New York's my home, sweet home

So, save your time and trouble
Save your railroad fare
I said, save your time and trouble
Save your railroad fare
'Cause when you leave New York
Man, you don't go anywhere

It's a city where a man can fulfill his dreams
The only town that's left that's got three baseball teams
(That's why New York's his home)
Let me never leave it
New York's my home, sweet home
