Graham Parker & The Rumour - The New York Shuffle lyrics

(Spoken) All right, let's do the New York Shuffle (over D) A D A D A D D A Manhattan baby with a sing song voice G D she got her place in the human zoo D A I went to living on the boulevard G A now that the revolution's due G A She said I've been around from town to town G A and I learned to love and hate G A But time don't change not a unique game, G A D they just keep herding through that gate CHORUS D A And do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle, G D Going to stay awake all night D A Do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle, G A D D A D Get yourself uptight, get uptight Stick around kids you're going to see some action better shoot them in the street Grab a gun before the police come, Don't tell me you're too sweet Down in the alley they are hitting harder Not as blown as a ball can be They're burnin flags here and just in drag here It sure is a sight to see REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Bm E Bm E Mister Mayor give the key, let me lock you up Bm E G A Throw that key down the deepest subway in New York, New York
