If you're lost in the Apple and can't get found
Just hop the subway to Chinatown
Oops, I guess we're Brooklyn bound
But, you're never lost in New York City
In Williamsburg all the old-time Jews
Have rented their buildings to hipster dudes
With their waist-length beards and their buckled shoes
Still, you're never lost in New York City
In Little Odessa with the right tattoos
Chances are you won't get shot
And the vibe is shitty in Long Island City
But It's one of old Duke's favorite spots
Flushing, Queens is some messed up jive
Those Mahjong ladies will eat you alive
There's poets and punks, and hookers and creeps
It's fucked up and beautiful, and it never sleeps
Yeah, it's weird and wonderful, gorgeous and gritty
But you're never lost in New York City
