To the cop, with a gun! The Big Apple is plenty of fun! Stab a priest, with a fork And you'll spend your vacation in New York!
Rob a bank! Take a truck! You can get here by stealing a buck! This is bliss! It's a lark! Buddy, everyone's coming to New York!
No more Yankees...strike the word from your ears! Spin the roulette, there's no more opera at the Met!
This is hell! This is fate! But now this is your world and it's great! So rejoice! Pop a cork! Buddy, everyone's coming to New York!
