Battery Park I'm on my way Union Square I don't need much a pair of shoes will get me there Stop for a Peking duck for lunch in Chinatown Shop for a watch along Can*l Mine's slowing down But I've been on time ever since I was sixteen I've never been late Cause I've never had to wait For the lights turn from red to green What does horsepower even mean? I don't know how to drive Who the hell wants a car anyway? My feet on the street I'm alive I'm at looking you Stuck sitting in traffic for an hour or two The back of a cabbie's head blocking the view That's not what New Yorkers do Bumper to Bumper it's St. Patrick's Day parade Plaza Hotel's my shortcut though I've never stayed Meet you at 3: 15 outside the Guggenheim Later for dinner and a little night music I love Sondheim And I've been walking tall ever since I was sixteen I've never missed a date Cause I've never had to wait For the lights to turn from red to green I'm my own two-legged machine I don't know how to drive Who the hell wants a car anyway? My feet on the street I'm alive I'm at looking you Stuck sitting in traffic for an hour or two The back of a cabbie's head blocking the view That's not what New Yorkers do Out in the Hamptons everyone owns a Cadillac Models with DUIs and a taste for Armagnac Why would I need wheel if I want to feel Like I'm going places I'll take a few paces I don't know how to drive Who the hell wants a car anyway? My feet on the street I'm alive I'm at looking you Stuck sitting in traffic for an hour or two The back of a cabbie's head blocking the view When will you wake up And see the only way through Is out here on the sidewalk Cause walking's what true New Yorkers do
