I'll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I'll ride that dream
To the end of the line
I wanna be goin places
I'll get a ride
Take me to the Riverside
I'm gonna take you NY
I'll make it happen
I'm on the car pools
I'm drinking Manhattans
I'll take a splash on the Hudson
That's how I will arrive
Hey, have you got two tens for a five?
Roll out the carpet
Strike up the band
Break out the best
Champagne when I land
You gotta beat the parade drum
Hit all the bars
I want the moon and stars
I'm gonna take you NY
I'll make it happen
I'm on the car pools
Drinking Manhattans
And I know someday
They'll have to name a street after me
Right next door to old Franklin D
I'm gonna take you big town
Come on NY
Come on move over big town
I'll take NY
Come on big town
Come on get happy
New York
