one minute i'm in central park
then i'm down on delancey street
from the bowery to st marks
there's a syncopated beat
said whoo
whoo
whoo
whoo
whoo
i'm streetwise
i can improvise
said whoo
whoo
whoo
whoo
whoo
i'm streetsmart
i've got new york city heart
why should i worry?
why should i care?
i may not have a dime
but i got street savoir-faire
why should i worry?
why should i care?
it's just bebopulation
and i got street savoir-faire
the rhythm of the city
but once you get it down
said you can own this town
you can wear the crown
why should i worry?
why should i care?
i may not have a dime
but i got street savoir-faire
why should i worry?
why should i care?
it's just doobopulation
and i got street savoir-faire
everything goes
everything fits
they love me at the chelsea
they adore me at the ritz
why should i worry?
why should i care?
and even when i cross that line
i got street savoir-faire
