Lennon John - New York City Lyrics
Standing on the cornerJust me and yoko onoWe was waiting for jerry to landUp come a man with a guitar in his handSinging, have a marijuana if you canHis name was david peelAnd we found that he was realHe sang, the pope smokes dope every dayUp come a policeman shoved us up the streetSinging, power to the people today!New york city...new york city...new york cityQue pasa, new york?Que pasa, new york?Well down to maxs kansas cityGot down the nitty grittyWith the elephants memory bandLaid something downAs the news spread aroundAbout the plastic ono elephants memory band!And we played some funky boogieAnd laid some tutti fruttiSinging, long tall sallys a man.Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacherSinging, gods a red herring in drag!New york city...new york city...new york cityQue pasa, new york?Que pasa, new york?New york city...new york city...new york cityQue pasa, new york?Que pasa, new york?Well we did the staten island ferryMaking movies for the tellyPlayed the fillmore and apollo for freedomTried to shake our imageJust a cycling through the villageBut found that we had left it back in londonWell nobody came to bug usHustle us or shove usSo we decided to make it our homeIf the man wants to shove us outWe gonna jump and shoutThe statue of liberty said, come!New york city...new york city...new york cityQue pasa, new york?Que pasa, new york?New york city...back in new york city...new york cityQue pasa, new york?Que pasa, new york?
