Lyrics
Only In New York
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The wonders of the world are said to stop at seven
But truth to tell my figures don't agree
I number them at eight, with one so close to Heaven
The others pale, their magic stale
Just take a look and see
Step right up to Treasure Isle
Ev'ry inch of it, a sky-high mile
Fairytale land
Only in New York
Hey castle-builder
Want the Moon, and nothing less?
Work for years, then overnight success
I know firsthand
Only in New York
Each day it's free admission to those who dream
You set your sights all the way upstream
Off you go, for you know that cream will rise
Make that wish, seek that thrill
Come and get it, 'cause you always will
Strike up the band
Only in New York
Each day it's free admission to those who dream
You set your sights all the way upstream
Off you go, for you know that cream will rise
Rise!
New, improved and rearranged
It's ever-changing, yet it's never changed
Life on command
Hear what I'm saying, oh but it's grand
That's why I'm staying, right here as planned
Only in New York
Only in New York
Only in New York
