They Might Be Giants Lyrics
"New York City"

You called me last night,
on the telephone,
and I was glad to hear from you cause I was all alone.
You said its snowing its snowing
god I hate this weather
now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together.
We met in the spring time at a rock and roll show
it was on the balery when it was time to go,
we kissed on the subway
in the middle of the night
I held your hand you held mine it was the best time of my life.

-CHORUS-
Cause everyone's your friend
in new York city and
everything is beautiful when your young and pretty,
the streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see,
but the best thing about new York city is,you and me.

Statue of liberty, Staten Island ferry, co-op city,
cats next to tiffany's, central park, Brooklyn bridge,
empire state where Dylan lived, Coney Island and time square,
Rockefeller center which I was there.
You wrote me a letter just the other day,
said spring time is coming soon so I thought you'd come to stay,
pack my stuff, on the bus, I cant believe its true, I'm 3 days from
new York city and I'm three days from you.

Cause everyone's my friend
in new York city and
everything is beautiful when your young and pretty,
the streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see,
but the best thing about new York city is,you and me.

Cause everyone's my friend
in new York city and
everything is beautiful when your young and pretty,
the streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see,
but the best thing about new York city is,you and me.
