Barenaked Ladies
Hello City
[Intro]
Hello city!
Hey

[Verse 1]
Another night at the palace
'Cause there is nothing else to do
Oh-oh, ah-ha
The same people, the same drinks and
The same music, the same quicksand
I think this harbor town is waist-deep and sinking fast

[Chorus]
Hello city
You've found an enemy in me
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh (ba-do-do-dobie-oh-oh)
Hello city (hello city)
Hello city, hey

[Verse 2]
Second night at the warehouse
And my mock turtleneck just reeks
From the liquor room to the change room
To the doom and gloom of the hotel room
I think this seaside beer hall should sink into the bay
[Chorus]
Hello city
You've found an enemy in me
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh (ba-do-do-dobie-oh-oh)
Hello city (hello city)
Hello city, hey

[Bridge]
Maybe I caught you at a bad time
Maybe I should call you back next week
Maybe half the fault is mine that the sun didn't shine on Barrington Street

[Verse 3]
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm hungry so lets eat
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Climb down three flights to the streetlights
And the bar fights, we're just taking in the sights
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed

[Chorus]
Hello city
You've found an enemy in me
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh (ba-do-do-dobie-oh-oh)
Hello city (hello city)
Hello city, hey
[Outro]
"What a good place to be"
Don't believe them
'Cause they speak a different language and it's never been happy for me
(It's Happy Hour again)
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
It's Happy Hour again
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Hello city, hey
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Hello city, hey
