Waking up in th' city, what are we gonna do? Take a picnic to the park, sing songs about the moon? I will bring a Frisbee. I will bring the dog We'll frolic in the pesticided grass beneath the smog Don't gotta worry 'bout bee stings, don't gotta worry 'bout ants Now's the time to take off our shoes and dance that cartoon dance In the afternoon time, we will stroll downtown Past messengers on bicycles and men dressed up in gowns If we should get tired, let's just take the bus I hope that it's not crowded, so we can sit up front I can't even see them scrape the sky Blurring the fashions, whizzing by ♪ Sun gets down in th' evening, lights start flashing on Th' city swells with energy, the nightlife has begun Hustle-and-a-bustle, so many sites to see Endless excitement keeps me up 'til three Don't wanna go to the movies. Who wants to sit inside? I didn't get on the guest list, don't want to wait in line ♪ Let's go get pierogies at my favorite café The waitresses are grumpy and their English ain't so great We'll talk ourselves in circles, 'til the pancakes are all gone Today's become tomorrow, I can see the pink of dawn Oh, I'm getting tired, I'm oh-so tired, I think it's time To retire, time for bed, to rest my sleepy head
