New Yorker

[Verse 1]
When I graduated college
I moved into the east village
I got a job at a cool office
I got Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits

Huh-huh-huh
Huh-huh-huh

[Verse 2]
I found a couple bars to lay my head
And I drove to Queens and I bought a bed
I made a whole bunch of New York friends
And I wore all black cause everyone else did

Huh-huh-huh
Huh-huh-huh

[Chorus]
And now I’m a New Yorker
At an art gallery downtown
I’m a New Yorker
Get the hell outta my way now
Yankees, Rangers, and Knicks
Theater, Pizza, Velvet Underground
I’m a New Yorker
Get the hell outta my way now and go die

[Verse 3]
Now I’m used to living hand to mouth
I go to Rockaway when it’s really hot out
I hate Williamsburg North, East and South
I know all the lunch spots in Midtown

Huh-huh-huh
Huh-huh-huh

[Verse 4]
I work so hard that my hair’s been gettin’ thin
I ain’t got no time to hit the gym
I picked up a little bit of Spanish
I’m a pretty smart guy, not for nothing

Huh-huh-huh
Huh-huh-huh

[Chorus]
And now I’m a New Yorker
At an art gallery downtown
I’m a New Yorker
Get the hell outta my way now
Yankees, Rangers, and Knicks
Theater, Pizza, Velvet Underground
I’m a New Yorker
Get the hell outta my way now and go die

[Outro]
Go die
Go die
Go die
Go die
