Lyrics:
of the taxis
The daffodils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxi's
When the Broadway baby says goodnight
It's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep
And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming
I like the island Manhattan (I know you do)
Smoke on your pipe and put that in
I like to be in America
guess life ain't Times Square
But in the city that's gritty where the bottom is shitty
Where the mayor's a billionaire
You learn Manhattan keep
They've got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
A doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free
It's a miracle
from the borough of Manhattan
And when I moved to the Bronx, then I got into rappin'
Funky beats would control me
It's like the mic would say hold me
and we've got guns, in our school
A thousand people gather in the streets of Manhattan
The lights go out, guess what happens?
It's time to steal, it's
Well, the dogs there live like people
And the people like dogs
Oh, they're jumping up north
They're trekking in the Delta
Standin' in Manhattan
and Maxie's
When a Broadway baby says "Good night"
It's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn
Good night, baby
Good
their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he
on the road
Way down in my heart, a north wind blows
Summer in Dixie, sure been cold
Now if Manhattan turns you on
Do what you gotta do
Don't worry how
and we've got guns, in our school
A thousand people gather in the streets of Manhattan
The lights go out, guess what happens?
It's time to steal, it's
Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
A doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free
It's a miracle
Another Miracle
By
in our hands
Drive into Manhattan on a date with a starlet who's just talent
That's what people pay the money to see
Who are we to argue?
Five
life's mad pattern
As we view old Manhattan
Then we can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are.
In our little penthouse we'll always
For a real hot time
How 'bout an air show crash?
Or a G.I. riding a stolen tank
Through downtown Manhattan
And off the riverbank
Where he drowns
you learn are from things that you regret
Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island and Queens
Standing up and fighting is what living here means
Just as sure as Manhattan is sittin' on a bed of stone
You know that I won't leave you in your bed alone too long
I'll never stop loving you, loving
life's mad pattern
As we view old Manhattan
Then we can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are.
In our little penthouse we'll always
with the ill hoes that eat doo-doo
Dressed up Manhattan style, walkin' the poodle
They put period blood inside noodle
On a curious tip, they drop
in Manhattan
Sometime comes, it's hotter than heaven
She picks up mascara at the 7-11
There's a lot goin' on but nothin' happenin'
Make her
humans from earth
We're humans from earth
You have nothing at all to fear
I think we're gonna like it here
Bought Manhattan for a string of beads
Brought
life's mad pattern
As we view old Manhattan
Then we can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are.
In our little penthouse we'll always
this animal attraction
Mid-city out to Manhattan, ain't nothin' fancy
Yellow cabs passing me by, I call Delancey
Keep my team moving through lights,
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two
