[Verse 1]
You can dance if you want to
All the critics love you in New York
You don't have to keep the beat
They'll still think it's neat in New York
You can wear what you want to
It doesn't matter in New York
You could cut off all your hair
I don't think they'd care in New York
[Chorus]
All the critics love you in New York
[Verse 2]
Why, you can play what you want to
All the critics love you in New York
They won't say that you're naive
If you play what you believe in New York
Purple love-amour is all you're headed for
But don't show it
The reason that you're cool is 'cause you're from the old school
And they know it
[Chorus]
All the critics love you in New York
You can dance if you want to
All the critics love you in New York
You don't have to keep the beat
They'll still think it's neat in New York
You can wear what you want to
It doesn't matter in New York
You could cut off all your hair
I don't think they'd care in New York
[Chorus]
All the critics love you in New York
[Verse 2]
Why, you can play what you want to
All the critics love you in New York
They won't say that you're naive
If you play what you believe in New York
Purple love-amour is all you're headed for
But don't show it
The reason that you're cool is 'cause you're from the old school
And they know it
[Chorus]
All the critics love you in New York
