New York Shuffle - Graham Parker

    All right, let's do the New York Shuffle

    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
