[Verse 1]
One minute I'm in Central Park
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
(Said) From the Bowery to St Marks
(Hey) there's a syncopated beat
(Alright)

[Pre-Chorus]
Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo
I'm streetwise, I can improvise
Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo
I'm street smart, I've got New York City heart

[Chorus]
Why should I worry? (Why should I worry?)
Why should I care? (Why should I care?)
I may not have a dime (Have a dime)
But I got street savoir-faire
Why should I worry? (Why should I worry?)
Why should I care? (Why should I care?)
It's just bebop-ulation (Bebop-ulation)
And I got street savoir-faire

[Verse 2]
The rhythm of the city
Boy, once you get it down
I said, you can own this town
You can wear the crown
[Chorus]
Why should I worry? (Why should I worry?)
Why should I care? (Why should I care?)
Say, I may not have a dime (Have a dime)
But I got street savoir-fairе
Why should I worry? (Why should I worry?)
Why should I care? (Why should I care?)
It's just doo-wop-ulation (Doo-wop-ulation)
And I got street savoir-faire

[Bridge]
Evеrything goes
Everything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz

[Chorus]
Why should I worry? (Why should I worry?)
Why should I care? (Why should I care?)
Even when I cross that line (Cross that line)
I got street savoir-faire

[Outro]
I said. whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo
I said, whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo
