About

The screaming nature of this song, part of the final act of Frank’s Wild Years, invokes mentally ill homeless people. The character that the album follows is clearly delusional, filled with a dream of making it in New York City.

I’ll Take New York Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I'll ride that dream
To the end of the line
I'm going to be going places
I'll get a ride
Take me to the Riverside

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna take you, New York
I'll make it happen
I'm on the Garbos
I'm drinking Manhattans
I'll take a splash on the big town
That's how I will arrive
Have you got two tens for a five?

[Verse 3]
You've got to roll out the carpet
Strike up the band
Break out the best champagne when I land
You've got to beat the parade drum
Hit all the bars
I want the moon and stars

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna take you, New York
I'll make it all happen
I'm on the caboose
I'm drinking Manhattans
And I know someday
They're gonna name a street after me
Right next door to old Franklin D

[Outro]
I'm gonna take you, Big Town
Come on, New York
Come on, move over, Big Town
I'll take New York
Come on, Big Town
Come on, get happy
New York
Come on
