big apple dreamin' (hippo)

we're so young and pretty

we're so young and clean

so many things

that we have never seen

from ohio

sell this damn old store

big apple dreamin

on a wooden floor

*

skyscrapers

and subways and stations

starin' up

at the united nations

**

new york is waiting

for you and me

baby

waiting to swallow us down

new york

we're coming

to see what you're made of

are you as great as you sound

heard about them massages

and all those dirty shows

well

i read somewhere

some places never close

while we waste time on yokels

comin' through the door

big apple dreamin'

on a wooden floor

***

new york is waiting

for you and me

baby

waiting to swallow us down

new york

we're coming

to see what you're made of

are you as tough as you sound

yeah

new york is waitin'

baby

waitin' to swallow us down

new york

we're coming

to see what you're made of

can't be as tough as you sound

oh

new york

oh new york

we're comin'

oh we're comin'

to see what you're made of

oh can't be as good as you sound

me and my baby

we're comin'

oh we're comin'

they're waitin' for you and me

baby.
