N.Y.C. Songtext
Warbucks:
What is it about you
You're big
You're loud
You're tough
NYC
I go years without you
Then I
Can't get
Enough
Enough of the cab drivers answering back
In the language far from pure
Enough of frankfurters answering back
Brother, you know you're in
NYC
Too busy too crazy
Too hot
Too cold
Too late
I'm sold
Again
On NYC
(spoken)
come on you slowpokes, we gotta get to the Roxy before the prices
change.
All (New Yokers and Grace Annie and Warbucks):
NYC
Grace:
The shadows at sundown
The roofs
That scrape
The sky
All:
NYC
Warbucks and Grace:
The rich and the rundown
The parade
Goes by
Warbucks:
That other town has the
Empire State
And a mayor five foot two
No other town in
The whole forty eight
Can half compare
To you
All:
Oh NYC
Warbucks:
You make 'em all postcards
Warbucks and Grace:
You crowd
You cramp
You're still
The champ
Amen
For NYC
(NYC)
The shimmer of Times Square
Warbucks:
The pulse
Grace:
The beat
Warbucks and Grace:
The drive!
(NYC)
Warbucks and Grace:
The city's bright
As a penny arcade
It blinks, it tilts, it rings
Annie:
To think that I've lived here all of my life
And never seen these things
All:
Oh, NYC
The whole world keeps coming
Warbucks:
By bus
Grace:
By train
Warbucks and Grace:
You can't
Explain
Their yen
For
Star to be
NYC
Just got here this morning
Three bucks
Two bags
One me
NYC
I give you fair warning
Up there
In lights
I'll be
Go ask the gershwins or kaufman and hart
The place they love the best
Through California pays big for thier art
Their fan mial comes addressed to
NYC
Tomorrow a penthouse
That's way up high
Tonight
The "Y"
Why not
It's NYC
All:
NYC
You're standing room only
You crowd
You cramp
You're still
The champ
Amen
For NY
Man (spoken):
Keep it quiet down there!
All (quietly):
C
Usherette (spoken):
Immediate seating... there is immediate seating.
Warbucks (spoken):
Popcorn, what do you say to some popcorn? I haven't had popcorn since...
(Annie yawns)
(Warbucks singing)
Give in
Don't fight
Good girl
Good night
Sleep tight
In
NYC
What is it about you
You're big
You're loud
You're tough
NYC
I go years without you
Then I
Can't get
Enough
Enough of the cab drivers answering back
In the language far from pure
Enough of frankfurters answering back
