BEEN MOST EVERYWHERE BY NOW
CITIES GRAND AND SMALL
SOME ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO ME
SOME I CAN’T RECALL
LONDON IS A FUN TOWN
PARIS HAS ITS CHARMS
BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE TOWN
THAT TAKES ME IN ITS ARMS…
 
THE LIGHTS OF BROADWAY FLICKER
AND SUDDENLY MY HEART BEATS QUICKER
WHAT CAN I SAY?
I DIG NEW YORK
 
THE NOISE IS MUSIC TO ME
THE CITY RHYTHMS ALL UNDO ME
SO SUE ME, HEY
I DIG NEW YORK
 
EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE
UP AND DOWN
IT’S THE, BEST SIDE
ALL OVER TOWN
 
THE DAYS GET ONLY GREATER
AND THEN IT’S EVEN BETTER LATER
THIS APPLE’S SWEET AND BIG
HERE LIFE’S A CRAZY GIG
ALL NIGHT AND DAY
I DIG NEW YORK!
 
INSTRUMENTAL
BROOKLYN, BRONX OR
STATEN ISLE...
QUEENS, MANHATTAN
IT’S ALL MY STYLE
 
A WHIFF OF CORNER HOTDOGS
AND NEARLY EVERYBODY’S GOT DOGS
THIS APPLE’S SWEET AND BIG
HERE LIFE’S A CRAZY GIG
ONE THING I KNOW
I DIG NEW YORK!
