Lyrics

There I was with my suitcase in my hand I took my chances on a yellow girl Mr take that to New York City Won't you take me downtown? Yeah You drive up the bears down the city streets You pass all the people that I wanna meet Let me out at the fair in the corner Got to get my feet back on the ground Walking through the big apple Never seen so many places Never seen so many faces Who don't seem to give a damn Walking through the big apple Don't they see it's so inviting? Can't they see what's so exciting To a brand new kid in town Just for a moment I was all alone I had no idea where I was supposed to go And they showed me, the strangest people Make this brand new feeling so it all Walking through the big apple Never seen so many faces Never seen so many faces Who don't seem to give a damn Walking through the big apple Don't they see it's so inviting? Can't they see what's so exciting To a brand new kid in town? Just for a moment I was all alone I had no idea where I was supposed to go Mr take me to New York City Won't you take me downtown? Walking through the Big Apple Never seen so many faces Never seen so many faces You can't even give a damn Walking through the big apple Don't they see it's so inviting? Can't they see what's so exciting To a brand new kid in town? Oh, woah
