When I tell people I live in the city that never sleeps They all wow in excitement And tell me that I am the luckiest they've ever met They say must be so nice To be always surrounded by shining lights Must bring everyone joy and put on your face The most enthusiastic smile They don't know When in the train you're packed like a sardine Surrounded by the cheesy smell of stinky feet An armpit in your face makes the trip a treat And a crazy preacher's listing all of your sins But there's no other place where I'd rather live One bite of the apple is all that I need Eight million souls and triple the dreams That's why New York City is the city for me You go down the street with coffee in hand While the sun shines bright And a family of rats crosses right where you are Making you spill and scald your arm Accidentally staining some old woman's coat Now no longer white You say sorry but she doesn't care And begins to call you moron and piece of shite Now you're late You wanna run but there's a tourist wave Some hobo calls you handsome So you spare them change The line to get your MetroCard Is too long to wait What the hell! You take a thirty dollar Uber instead But there's no other place where I'd rather live Cause this is the city for people who dream Noises and mayhem sound sweet to my ears Because New York City is the city for me New York City Why you gotta be so damn pretty? The lights and the music The fashion is bougie The food is so good it's undisputed A stroll on Broadway and then we go On Top of the Rock to dance all night long Sparkling island Your skyline is brighter at night time Down at the Blue Note You play jazz to my soul In Chelsea a Queen kisses me on the cheek There is no time to go to sleep We got too many dreams to live There's no other place where I'd rather live One bite of the apple is all that I need Eight million souls and triple the dreams That's why New York City is the city for me
