Lyrics
A New York City Life
(Love Song for New York City)
Copyright © 2003 Guy Michetti BMI
I?m walkin down the streets of Little Italy
Crowds of people all around they all seem a bit like me
The San Gennaro Feast is here and the Virgin Mary prays
Protect us from the world outside and all its evil ways
Chinatown, the Bowery and the Brooklyn Bridge call me
To the people in the Tenements that work hard to be free
The Delis and the news stands they all know who you are Policemen and the Firemen are never very far
New York?s My Baby
Downtown streets and subway lines
New York?s My Baby
Broadway lights are callin? me to a New York City Life
Take a taxi to the west side on 7th avenue
There?s more here to see, then I ever knew
Book stores and the record shops the tourists take the double-decker bus
The top of the empire state is there for everyone of us
New York?s My Baby
Downtown streets and subway lines
New York?s My Baby
Broadway lights are callin? me
to a New York City Life
New York?s My Baby
Uptown Chic, West Village Nights
New York?s My Baby
Those Broadway signs are callin? me
to a New York City Life
Walkin through the streets of uptown Central Park is all around
Birds are singin? children playin? street musicians make their sounds
The 59th street bridge is still groovy Harlem Nocturne playin on my radio
I love the Yankees when they play the Mets and I found Joe Dimaagio
New York?s My Baby
Downtown streets and subway lines
New York?s My Baby
Broadway lights are callin? me
to a New York City Life
New York?s My Baby
Uptown Chic, West Village Nights
New York?s My Baby
Those Broadway signs are callin? me
to a New York City Life
