[JIMMY, spoken]
New York is a major chord. A major chord's when everything in your life works out perfectly. One is music, two is money, and three is love

[JIMMY, sung]
Lift up that note
Lift up that blue note
Let’s play a major chord
You sound so sad
Don't play that sad note
Let's play a major chord

When you play a minor third
It makes me wanna cry my eyes out
I get caught up and depressed
And I’m a mess until
My memory dries out

So be a pal
Leave out that bad note
Make it a gift to the Lord
Hallelujiah He'll say
When the band begins to play
That major chord

[TOMMY]
It's too chromatic
Don't get dramatic
The chord I'm singing of
[JIMMY]
It's music, money, lovе!

[TOMMY]
Don't play a flat note

[JIMMY]
Don't lead with that note

[JIMMY & TOMMY]
Lay down a phat bеat
Lift up those flat feat
Let’s play a major chord!

While you wonder where to go
You could be doing a debating
Take a chance, you never know
What you are open to when
Love may be waiting

[FRANCINE, spoken]
Okay, I’ll play along! How do I get my major chord?

[JIMMY, spoken]
You got number one: music!
[TOMMY, spoken]
And when you got the music right, bam! The money follows!

[JIMMY, spoken]
That's number two! All that’s left, number three: love...

[TOMMY, spoken]
The hardest of all

[JIMMY, TOMMY & BOTH, sung]
So, look at me
No, look at me
I strike the right note
I strike the right note
I'm chairman of the board
The people shout "Hurray!"
When I begin to play

[JIMMY]
That major

[TOMMY]
Not minor

[JIMMY]
Whoa!
Augmented
[TOMMY]
Suspended

[JIMMY]
Diminished

[TOMMY]
We're finished!

[JIMMY]
Give me that

[JIMMY & TOMMY]
Major
Major

[TOMMY]
Music

[JIMMY]
Money

[TOMMY, spoken]
Sex!

[JIMMY & FRANCINE, spoken]
Love!

[JIMMY & TOMMY]
Chord!
