Lyrics

New York Was Great

New York was great and we loved it all

New York was great and we loved it all

But time was riding fast upon my shoulders

What a shame

What a shame

What a shame

The nighttime was painted black with fun

The nighttime was painted black with fun

But all the time, the light shone through it all

What a drag

What a drag

What a drag

And in bars, drunk, we knew it all

And in bars, drunk, we knew it all

And promises, we spilled out in the night

What a trip

What a trip

What a trip

And the stars, we plucked from great black skies

And the stars, we plucked from New York skies

We placed them all in front of us and laughed

What a trip

What a trip

What a trip
