New York's My Home

Listen all you new yorkers

Theres a rumours going around

That some of you good people want to leave this town

But you better consult with me before you go, yeah

'cause I've been to all those places and I know

Well chicagoss all right its got marshall field and soldiers field and its on a nice lake

But it hasn't got the handsoms in the park

It hasn't got the skyline after dark

(thats why new yorks my home never let me leave it)

New yorks my home sweet home

San Francisco is a lovely place its got lots of hills and lots of thrills

And its near an ocean of some size

But it hasn't got the bowery or the bronx

It hasn't got the harlem honkytonks

(thats why new yorks my home sweet home its my favorite city)

New yorks my home sweet home

Lots of people like St. Louis

It's got lots of shoes and St. Louis blues and one of our larger rivers runs by

But it hasn't got the opera in the met

It hasnt got a famous string quartet

(that's why New York's my home nonot a place to visit)

Hollywood's got movie stars and movie czars

Cocktail bars, shiny cars and a wonderful climate they say

But it hasnt got the handy subway trains

You seldom find a taxi when it rains

(thats why new yorks my homeyeahtake you California)

New yorks my home sweet home

So save your time and trouble

Save your railroad fare

Save your time and trouble

Save your railroad fare

'cause when you leave new york

You dont go anywhere

New York's my home

A fabulous place to live

A wonderful time wonderful timewonderful time
