New York (Tony Awards 2013 Closing Song)

[NEIL, spoken]
Aww, S.H.—I can't help myself

(rapped)
Here's a Tony hit list, try to write 'em all down
First we started bigger than a Cinderella ball gown
Shout out to the ladies, all the women winnin'!
Andrea Martin, Diane Paulus, Pam MacKinnon
Cyndi Lauper talkin' in the shower, no bologna
Girls just wanna have fun, you just won a Tony
The 80s came back with a bang, not cause Cyndi Lauper sang
It's because the best play was by Durang Durang
Heavenly, now I need a melody
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome in Audra McD!

[AUDRA]
New York, singing all the lyrics we made up
There's nothing we can't do
Broadway in New York
These Tony winners are brand new
Their work will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York

[NEIL]
This was Tony Sunday all up in your face
Bill Porter's gonna keep the Tony at his place
Then at nine o'clock you changed to watch the games
The nerds, Game of Thrones, The jocks, LeBron James
Now you're watching Audra, singing to her own flow
Audra's got so many Tony's she could host her own show
Courtney Vance, Tracy Letts, Judith Light, hit it
Edward Albee, Pippin, and Patina Miller did it
Cicely Tyson, standing ovation
Kinky for the win and the eyes of the nation are on:

[AUDRA]
New York, singing all these lyrics we made up
There's nothing we can't do
Tonys and New York
One more Broadway season behind you
These shows will remind you
It happens in New York

[NEIL]
In New York

[NEIL & AUDRA]
In New York, New York, New York
New York

[NEIL, spoken]
That's the Tonys! Good night everybody, go see a Broadway show
