Big Apple Dreamin' (Hippo) (Early Version)

We're so young and pretty
We're so young and clean
So many things that we have never seen
Let's move from Ohio
Sell this damn old store
Big Apple dreamin' on a wooden floor

Skyscrapers and subway stations
Starin' up at the United Nations
New York is waitin' for you and me, baby
Waitin' to swallow us down
New York, I'm comin' to see what you're made of
Are you as great as you sound?

We're so young and pretty
We're so young and clean
So many things that we have never seen
Why we waste time on yokels
Comin' through the door
Big Apple dreamin' on a wooden floor

Skyscrapers and subway stations
Starin' up at the United Nations
New York, I'm waitin' for you and me, baby
Waitin' to swallow you down
New York, we're comin' to see what you're made of
Are you as great as you sound?

New York is waitin' for you and me, baby
Waitin' to swallow us down
New York, I'm comin' to see what you're made of
Are you as great as you sound?
