New York in the Springtime [Live at the Sydney Opera House] Janis Ian

[Verse 1]
I like New York in the springtime
When the pimps come out to play
And all the cities going gay
And its a symphony in bay

[Verse 2]
I like New York in the summer
When the buildings start to drool
When all the rapists play the fool
Falling in love with you

[Bridge]
Anytime I hear a old-time show on the radio
I cry to the by gone days
Even I'm amazed when 42nd Street comes out to play
The picture show and the radio singin' 'bout a new sensation
Masturbation, copulation, on the TV if you're pacient

[Verse 3]
I like the recession
Conquerors changе the rates
Agnew's pitching hay
Nixon can gеt laid

[Verse 4]
I like New York in the springtime
When the pimps come out to play
I must return someday
Bad-do-bad-do-bad-do-da-dum
