Lyrics
Two, three, four [Verse 1] Standing on the corner, just me and Yoko Ono We was waiting for Geraldo to land Up come a man with a guitar in his hand "Have a marijuana if you can" Well his name was David Peel, we found that he was real "The Pope Smokes Dope Everyday" Up come a police man shoved us up the street Singin', "Power to the People today!" [Chorus] New York City New York City New York City [Verse 2] Well down to Max's City Put down the nitty gritty with the Elephants Memory Band Laid something down as the news spread around About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band! We played somе Tutti Frutti and played some funky boogie "Long Tall Sally's A man" Up comе a preacher man trying to be a teacher Singing, "God's a red herring in drag!" [Chorus] New York City New York City New York City Qué pasa New York? Qué pasa New York? Hey! [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Woah, New York City baby Madison Square Garden What's happenin' man [Verse 3] Well, we did the Staten Island Ferry Making movies for the telly Played the Fillmore, the garden for freedom Tried to shake our image Cycling through the Village But found that we had left it back in London Well, nobody came to bug us, hustle us or shove us We decided to make it our home If the man wants to shove us out We gonna jump and shout The Statue of Liberty said "Come!" [Chorus] To New York City New York City New York City Qué pasa New York? Qué pasa New York? New York City, man New York City New York City New York City Down in the village New York City One more- city! Oh what a bad, bad city
