Been most everywhere by now Cities grand and small Some are near and dear to me Some I can't recall London is a fun town Paris has its charms But there is only one town That takes me in its arms... The lights of Broadway flicker And suddenly my heart beats quicker What can I say? I dig New York The noise is music to me The city rhythms all undo me So sue me, hey I dig New York East side, west side Up and down It's the, best side All over town The days get only greater And then it's even better later This apple's sweet and big Here life's a crazy gig All night and day I dig New York! Brooklyn, Bronx or Staten Island Queens, Manhattan It's all my style A whiff of corner hotdogs And nearly everybody's got dogs This apple's sweet and big Here life's a crazy gig One thing I know I dig New York!
