Empire State up high in the sky;
Men carry weight as the whips on by
Bulldozer hats strapped ‘round their chins
Will they beat wind and stay to win
Only 5 died, then Herbert Hoover switched the light on
Working men laid their tool belts down, marched from their windblown home

High in the sky men carry weight as the wind whips on by
Once was the tallest skyscraper in the whole world
Before sad attacks it stood second from gold
Only to go back to its old place
Where the sun shines, shines in its face
Empire State up high in the sky. Men carry weight as the wind whips on...
