When I came to New York
I was green so green
It was the most magnificent
I ever seen
Scraping the sky
So high and so pure
This was the top
Of that I was sure
But down on the street
It ain't so pretty
But that's the price
Of living in the city
Living in the city
Living in the city
A town without pity
New York city
You work and you slave
To pay one more day
And then they say
Play boy, just play
There was a time
When I was on fire
Motivated by
A burning desire
I was green so green
It was the most magnificent
I ever seen
Scraping the sky
So high and so pure
This was the top
Of that I was sure
But down on the street
It ain't so pretty
But that's the price
Of living in the city
Living in the city
Living in the city
A town without pity
New York city
You work and you slave
To pay one more day
And then they say
Play boy, just play
There was a time
When I was on fire
Motivated by
A burning desire
