Wanderlust

Get the window low as you go to the airport, see a plane take off
Go to England or take a trip by sea
And get off where you wanna get off
Write to the boy next door who always
Wants to do what you're just about to do
Tell him that you like New York City, I'm sure he'll like it too

You like New York City
I'm sure he'll like it too, babe
You say you like your nation
So let's take a long vacation

Tell your navigator way downstairs with his white gloves on
Tell him to zip up your bag with his white gloves on
Pick your diamonds, so if you've got no money left you can sell it
Here I come, get ready, get set, fire, go, go, go, go, go

You like New York City
I'm sure he'll like it too, babe
You say you like your nation
So let's take a long vacation

Transfer agent sends me where I, where I wanna go
That's a fact, he thinks I'm great, '
Cause I treat him like dirt, like dirt
He does me favours, but I could do better with even better ones
They call him Stucky, 'cause I treat
Him like dirt, like dirt, like dirt

You like New York City
I'm sure he'll like it too, babe
You say you like your nation
So let's take a long vacation

The transit airman is heating up the engine and cleared to your head
Go out and get it instead of watching TV and stagnating in your bed
By the window thinking of the next record that you're gonna buy
You like Morris with his safety pin, so it's gonna be a punk one

You like New York City
I'm sure he'll like it too, babe
You say you like your nation
So let's take a long vacation
