Glee - NYC Lyrics
What is it about youYou're bigYou're loudYou're tough NYCI go years without youThen I can't get enoughEnough of the cab drivers answering backIn the language far from pureEnough of frankfurters answering backBrother, you know you're in NYCToo busy, too crazyToo hot, too cold, too lateI'm sold again on NYCCome on you slowpokesWe gotta get to the Roxy before the prices changeNYCThe shadows at sundownThe roofs, that scrape, the skyNYCThe rich and the rundownThe parade goes byThat other town has the Empire StateAnd a mayor, five foot twoNo other town in the whole forty eightCan half compare to youOh, NYCYou make 'em all postcardsYou crowd, you crampYou're still the champAmen For NYC, NYCThe shimmer of Times SquareThe pulse, the beatThe drive, NYCThe city's brightAs a penny arcadeIt blinks, it tilts, it ringsTo think that I've lived here all of my lifeAnd never seen these thingsOh, NYCThe whole world keeps comingBy bus, by trainYou can't explainTheir yen forStar to be NYCJust got here this morningThree bucks, two bagsOne me NYCI give you fair warningUp there in lights I'll beGo ask the Gershwins or Kaufman and HartThe place they love the bestThough California pays big for their artTheir fan mail comes addressed to NYCTomorrow a penthouseThat's way up highTonight the "Y"Why not? It's NYCNYCYou're standing room onlyYou crowd, you crampYou're still the champAmen For NYKeep it quiet down thereNYCImmediate seating, there is immediate seatingPopcorn, what do you say to some popcorn?I haven't had popcorn sinceGive in, don't fightGood girl, good nightSleep tight in NYC
