Well, you said that sleepin' with a poor band's not your style
Ain't that just a little unkind
Hey, Marlon Brando, what would you do in a spot like this
I don't play as your pawn tonight
Doin' the New York Hustle with a hundred dollar miss
Summer night in the city
New York girls they always make you feel so fine
There's music, and I can always hear it playin'
New York Nights and there's music in the streets
A doin' the Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin' that old familiar tune
And now yakety yak and don't talk back
When a guy lay me down with my Pontiac
Tell those high school queens of mine that the
Prom was for your monkey shine
Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls are oh, so pretty
Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls make you feel so fine
Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls are oh, so pretty
Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City
Music in the streets
Another night, another town
I'm out on the road and ther's no one around
And it's rainin', yeah, it's rainin'
Silence is all around
It's cold and lonely, oh darlin', if only I could feel it
Oh, can you feel it
Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin' that old familiar tune
Hey, Marlon Brando, do you agree it feels so fine
Doin' the New York Hustle
These girls are doin' the monkey shine
Summer night in the city
New York girls they always make you feel so fine
There's music, and I can always hear it playin'
New York Nights and there's music in the streets
Hey, hey, honey, what's on your mind Well, you said that sleepin' with a poor band's not your style Ain't that just a little unkind Hey, Marlon Brando, what would you do in a spot like this I don't play as your pawn tonight Doin' the New York Hustle with a hundred dollar miss Summer night in the city New York girls they always make you feel so fine There's music, and I can always hear it playin' New York Nights and there's music in the streets A doin' the Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon With the hum of a thousand engines Singin' that old familiar tune And now yakety yak and don't talk back When a guy lay me down with my Pontiac Tell those high school queens of mine that the Prom was for your monkey shine Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City New York girls are oh, so pretty Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City New York girls make you feel so fine Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City New York girls are oh, so pretty Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City Music in the streets Another night, another town I'm out on the road and ther's no one around And it's rainin', yeah, it's rainin' Silence is all around It's cold and lonely, oh darlin', if only I could feel it Oh, can you feel it Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon With the hum of a thousand engines Singin' that old familiar tune Hey, Marlon Brando, do you agree it feels so fine Doin' the New York Hustle These girls are doin' the monkey shine Summer night in the city New York girls they always make you feel so fine There's music, and I can always hear it playin' New York Nights and there's music in the streets Explain Request ×
