new york city, here i come

give me a smile

do you know what it's worth?

and if you give me an acre

i'll give you the earth

and if you give me a start

i ain't gonna stop

i'll be flying from rooftop to rooftop to rooftop

if you give me your room

i'll come home each night

and if you show me the switch

baby

i'll turn on the light

and if you show me a tear

i'll give you some hope

i'll have you climbing the walls

if you give me the rope

hang on to your hat

new york city

here i come

hang on to your hat

new york city

here i come

show me the park sunday after lunch

and we'll go back to your room when it comes to the crunch

and if you give me the day

i'll give you the night

if you pretend you are sleeping

i'll put up a fight

hang on to your hat

new york city

here i come

hang on to your hat

new york city

here i come

hang on to your hat

new york city

here i come

hang on to your hat

new york city

here i come

hang on to your hat

new york city

here i come.
