Manhattan baby with a sing
song voice
she got her place in the human
zoo
I went to living on the boulevard
now that the revolution's
due
She said I've been around
from town to town
and I learned to love and
hate
But time don't change not
a unique game,
they just keep herding through
that gate
[Chorus]
And do the New York shuffle,
baby New York scuffle,
Going to stay awake all night
Do the New York shuffle, baby
New York scuffle,
Get yourself uptight,
get uptight
Stick around kids you're going
to see some action
better shoot them in the street
Grab a gun before the police
come,
Don't tell me you're too sweet
Down in the alley they are
hitting harder
Not as blown as a ball can
be
They're burnin flags here
and just in drag here
It sure is a sight to see
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Mister Mayor give the key,
let me lock you up
Throw that key down the deepest
subway in New York, New York
Ah primal scream I had electric
dream
I had to bang my head against
the ground
I have to get out quick before
I get as sick
As the people living in this
town
Bounce me off the pavement
bounce me off the wall
Bounce me off a taxi car
Give me a shot of that old
Jack Daniels
And put me down in bars
[Repeat Chorus (twice)]
Down in New York City, get
upight
down in New York Cbaby, get
uptight
Tight tight tight tight tight
get uptight
Tight tight tight tight tight
get uptight
