A sailboat and a new passport Are all the things that you need When you leave, you'll be free Stood at lady liberty fee 'Cause you're leaving for New York City I've never been but it sure looks pretty to me Buildings like them scrape the sky All your dreams lie behind your eyes Send me a postcard, write me a song When they all come true and I'm proved them wrong 'Cause you're leaving for New York City I've never been but it sure looks pretty to me 'Cause you're leaving for New York City I've never been but it sure looks pretty 'Cause you're leaving for New York City I've never been but it sure looks pretty to me End
