๐ Lyrics
Well, I was born in a little bitty tar hut
And they called me a man
'Cause I couldn't keep my big, big mouth shut
So what's the sense of me sitting here leaving?
When any ol' day I might get even
Lord knows, New York City had lot to do with it
I wish someday I could find the way
To get it out of my brain
This dirty old town's gonna sink right down
And I don't wanna go with it
Well I wish there was a way that I knew to get even
A way to get a lick in, a 'bobbin' and a-weavin'
Any ol' thing besides goin' and a-leavin'
You can do on a train, yeah
Well, I once knew a man who sailed around the world twice
And he would have made it three, but he took a lot of bad advice
So what's the sense of me sittin' here leavin'
When any ol' day I might get even
And Lord knows, New York City had a lot to do with it, yeah
I wish someday I could find a way to get it out of my brain
This dirty old town's gonna sink right down
And I don't want to go with it
But I wish there was a way that I knew to get even
Way to get a lick in, just a 'bobbin' and a-weavin'
Any ol' thing besides goin' and a-leavin'
You can do on a train
Oh, yes!
Well, I once knew a man who sailed around the world twice
But his motor cooled down, and now, he's deliverin' ice
So what's the sense of him sittin' here leavin'
When any ol' day he might get even
And Lord knows, New York City had a lot to do with it
I wish someday he could find a way to get it out of his brain
This dirty old town's gonna sink right down
And I don't want to go with it
Well, I wish there was a way that I knew to get even
Way to get a lick in, just a 'bobbin and a-weavin'
Any old thing besides goin' and a-leavin'
You can do on a train
Oh, yeah
Thank you very much
We're on Long Island now aren't we?
Yeah
Finally got... well,no we were just heading out of New York
It didn't matter which way
New York's okay
Anybody here every hear of a guy named Cord that built automobiles?
Is he a local hero?
Gee, well we're gonna do a song about him right now
This is from the album on Reprise
It's called "The New Soft Shoe"
And they called me a man
'Cause I couldn't keep my big, big mouth shut
So what's the sense of me sitting here leaving?
When any ol' day I might get even
Lord knows, New York City had lot to do with it
I wish someday I could find the way
