The Statler Brothers - New York City lyrics

Lord, I wonder how An angel in hell in New York City (New York City) But I can't think about that now Honey, will you tell him Bible stories And give him all the love I never could? And never tell him too much 'bout his daddy 'Cause there's not too much to say that's good He'll have to learn it all from his mother: How to count and say his A-B-C's But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime Leave off "God bless Daddy," won't you please? And now they're alone in New York City (New York City) Living like ... Lord, I wonder how Two angels in hell in New York City (New York City) But I can't think about that now I can't think about that now
