My New York

[DWAYNE]
My New York's an orchestrated, complicated, loud and lusty symphony

[ENSEMBLE]
A little bit hot
A little bit highbrow

[DWAYNE]
Satin, smoother, syncopated, out about and overstated
Day and night, she plays her melody
Rumble of the subway is her bass note
Honking horn's a gorgeous in-your-face note
Strummin' her strings, my city swings
My city sings to me...

[TRISHA]
My New York's a living, breathing, soaring, seething, architecture gallery

[ENSEMBLE]
A study in steel
A study in granite

[TRISHA]
Clashing colors interweaving, down and dirty, hot and heaving
Heaven for the artist wannabe

[DWAYNE]
Ambulance wailing, key of B flat
Miles would've killed to play high notes like that

[DWAYNE, ENSEMBLE]
Once it gets to ya, you will never, ever leave!

[ENSEMBLE]
Born and bred, like some of us are fresh off any Greyhound bus
It takes a whole
Your head's gonna spin —

[BETTY]
My head is exploding!

[ENSEMBLE]
Suddenly it holds your heart, and God, it's good to be a part
Of this, the greatest city ever known

[DWAYNE, ENSEMBLE]
Everybody's ears will soon be ringing
With a thousand sounds, New York is singing
Millions of feet crossing the street
Never heard anything so damn sweet!

Rain on the river, splish and a-splat
Man's gotta dance to a rhythm like that
Once it gets to ya, you will never
Once it gets to ya, you won't ever
Once it gets to ya, you will never ever leave!
