Tony Lucca - New York City lyrics

It's freezin', it's February, I'm in New York City Tryin' to hail a taxi cab on Seventh Ave See I'm headed uptown now, and well he's headed down Says it's probably gonna cost more than I have Well So I walk the sunny side of the street Think about my friends back home Picture myself drivin' with the windows down Before I knew it, I wasn't cold anymore Decided to make the most of this crazy town See they got their sh** together there in that New York City Patience and persistence fill the air now Yeah, they're all in a mission in that New York City Know just what they want the fastest way there In New York City I walk into this Village pub, Say, "It's five o'clock somewhere" Make conversation with the bartender She's cuttin' limes I ask about her accent, do my best to describe mine She says, "Is it true in California the sun always shines?" I said, "It rains on occasion, but for the most part it's like a Saturday in Central Park in mid-September." She said, "Well, this one's on the house." I said, "Why thank you, what was your name again?" Knowing me, I won't remember Yeah, they keep it all together there in that New York City Hugs and middle fingers everywhere now Yeah, it's like one big family there in that New York City Hard times God knows they've had their fair share In New York City In New York City It's freezin', it's February, I'm in New York City Tryin' to hail taxi cab on Seventh Ave See, he's headed uptown now and well, I'm goin' down Why does everything here cost more than I have?
