Goodnight New York

Morning comes crashing like a rock through a window

Jackhammer banging on the hot concrete

Take your stand hey move it man

It's a backtalk sidewalk symphony

Uber cars yellow cabs thick as smoke

Painted girls and metre maids will leave you broke

Sax man blowing shooting through my veins

There's a rhythm to the racket that's intoxicating

Goodnight New York goodnight

Don't ever close your eyes

If the street could talk New York New York

So fine they named you twice

Your face your grace no other place

From east to west these streets are blessed

Goodnight New York sleep tight New York goodnight

Starbucks FedEx trucks on every street and avenue

Broadway lights shining bright make everybody beautiful

Walking on the high line reaching for the skyline

If Alexander Hamilton could see it all

Garbage trucks backing up beep beep beep

Dogs barking on the balcony the kids can't sleep

Scaffolds potholes Batman's on a bicycle

Path trains bus lanes welcome to the carnival

Goodnight New York goodnight

Don't ever close your eyes

If the street could talk New York New York

So fine they named you twice

Your face your grace no other place

From east to west these streets are blessed

Goodnight New York sleep tight New York goodnight

The bravest and the finest

My hand's on my heart for you

To the ones who paid the price and to those who saw us through

It's late I'm getting weary

So for now I'll say

Goodnight New York goodnight

Don't ever close your eyes

If the street could talk New York New York

So fine they named you twice

Goodnight New York goodnight

Don't ever close your eyes

If the street could talk New York New York

So fine they named you twice

Your face your grace no other place

From east to west these streets are blessed

Goodnight New York sleep tight New York goodnight

Goodnight New York sleep tight New York goodnight

So goodnight New York sleep tight New York goodnight
