Betty Comden - New York, New York lyrics

[GABEY, CHIP, AND OZZIE] New York, New York! It's a hell of a town! [GABEY] We've got one day here and not another minute To see the famous sights! [OZZIE] We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it Beneath the Broadway lights; But we've hair on our chests So what we like the best are the nights Sights! Lights! Nights! [ALL] New York, New York, a helluva town The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down The people ride in a hole in the groun' New York, New York, it's a helluva town! (Spoken interlude) [CHIP] Hey, Gabey! Gabey, look! Gabey, it says here "There are 20,000 streets in New York, not counting MacDougal Alley the heart of Green-Witch Village, a charming thoroughfare filled with..." [OZZIE] Here we go again! (Song) [CHIP] The famous places to visit are so many Or so the guidebooks say I promised Daddy I wouldn't miss on any And we have just one day Got to see the whole town From Yonkers on down to the Bay [ALL] In just one day! New York, New York, a visitor's place Where no one lives on account of the pace But seven millions are screaming for space New York, New York, it's a visitor's place! (Spoken Interlude) [GABEY] Hey! Look who's comin' back! It's Tom and Andy! [OZZIE] Hey, Tom, Andy! Hey, fellas, how are the New York dames? [ANDY] Wonderful - I don't remember a thing! [TOM] Awful! I remember everything! (Song) [OZZIE] Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin Or so the fellas say; There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan When you have just one day; Gotta pick up a date [CHIP] Maybe seven [OZZIE] Or eight On your way [GABEY, CHIP, AND OZZIE] In just one day! New York, New York, a helluva town The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down The people ride in a hole in the groun' New York, New York, it's a helluva town!!
