i'll take new york

Singer:waits, tom

i'll tip the newsboy

i'll get a shine

i'll ride this dream

to the end of the line

i'm goin places

i'll take a ride

up to the riverside

i'll take ny

i'll let it happen

i'll pop the cork

tear off the wrappin'

i'll make a splash on the hudson

that's how i will arrive

hey

do you have two tens for a five?

roll out the carpet

strike up the band

break into the best

champagne when i land

beat the parade drum

hit all the bars

i want the moon and stars

but i'll take ny

i'll make it happen

blow out the candlels

tear off the wrappin'

and i know someday

they'll have to name a street after me

right next door to old franklin d
