On the Town Opening

[FIRST WORKMAN]
I feel like I'm not out of bed yet
Oh!
Oh, the sun is warm
But my blanket's warmer
Sleep, sleep, in your lady's arms

[MEN]
Sleep in your lady's arms

[SECOND WORKMAN, spoken]
Ya got the time, bud?

[THIRD WORKMAN, spoken]
Ten minutes to six

[FIRST WORKMAN]
All night I've been walking the baby
Wah!
Oh, his eyes are blue
But her eyes are bluer
Sleep, sleep in your lady's arms

[MEN]
Sleep in your lady's arms

[SECOND WORKMAN, spoken]
What time's it now, bud?

[THIRD WORKMAN, spoken]
Aw, six o'clock, will ya!?

[OZZIE, spoken]
Come on, Gabey, hurry up!

[CHIP, spoken]
Twenty-four hours!

[SAILOR, spoken]
Hey, watch where you're goin'!
You'd think it was your first time in New York!

[GABEY, spoken]
It is!

[GABEY, CHIP, & OZZIE]
New York, New York!
It's a helluva town!

[GABEY]
We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights!

[OZZIE]
Wе'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Bеneath the Broadway lights
But we've hair on our chests
So what we like the best are the nights

[CHIP]
Sights!

[OZZIE]
Lights!

[GABEY]
Nights!

[GABEY, CHIP & OZZIE]
New York, New York, a helluva town
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the groun'
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!

[OZZIE]
Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin
Or so the fellas say
There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan
When you have just one day
Gotta pick up a date

[CHIP]
Maybe seven or eight
On your way
In just one day!

[GABEY, CHIP & OZZIE]
New York, New York, a helluva town
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the groun'
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!

[MEN]
New York, New York, a visitor's place
Where no one lives on account of the pace
But seven millions are screaming for space
New York, New York, a helluva town
