[Verse 1]
One minute I'm in Central Park
Then, I'm down on Delancey Street
Said, from the Bowery to St Mark's
There’s a syncopated beat. Right

I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise
I can improvise
I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm street-smart
I've got New York City heart

[Chorus]
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just been-BO population
And I got street savoir faire

[Verse 2]
The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Said, then you can own this town
You can wear the crown!
[Chorus]
Why should I worry? Tell me
Why should I care?
I Said, I may not have a dime. Oh!
But I got street savoir faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just doo-population
And I got street savoir faire

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

[Chorus]
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I cross that line
I got street savoir faire

[Outro]
I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
