[instrumental intro]

sanitation men strike in the city
garbage pile up high all around me
the police and teachers join the fray
striking to for more pay, they say
as the thieves have a field day to play
every weirdo, every wino, every hobo shouting “whoo!”

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

when i ride the subway
i may see a shooting
and i stroll down broadway

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

in the bas*m*nt parties
in the fancy disco
listen to them junkies
as their voices echo
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

if i could make it there
i’ll make it anywhere
it’s up to you, new york!
new york!

[instrumental interlude]
the department bank robbed
have to borrow
living standards drop
below zero

little kids and senior citizens
exiled in their homes all weekend
every pimp, [?], and all the con men
makin’ merry, jumpin’ [?], shoutin’ proud and openly

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
if i see the mafia
or the skidrow slasher
i could run for cover
in the bomb shelter

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

said meh girlfriend lillian
“i believe in a scam
as long as i have rhythm
i can shake me bam*bam”

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

if i could make it there
i’ll make it anywhere
it’s up to you, new york!
new york!

[instrumental interlude]
could it be the indians cursed manhattan>
so the big apple could stay rotten
demonstrations, nearly every sort
every issue must end in court
violence dominate every sport
wealthy and the healthy
leavin’ the poor and the sick still singin’:

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

subway trains are crowdin’
brooklyn bridge is fallin’
difficulties rainin’
but i ain’t complainin’

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

everywhere is problem
the mayor can’t solve them
but the spanish harlem
that’s an indian thing!

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

if i could make it there
i’ll make it anywhere
it’s up to you, new york!
new york!

[instrumental itnerlude]

city overcrowded
we still live here
water polluted
ain’t fit for drinkin’

c*ckroach, rats, and fly in the room
the neighbor who could use some perfume
dog doo*doo is all you smell night to noon
three time losers, boozers, users
ravin’, rantin’ chantin’, shoutin’:

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

they condemn the building
in which i am living
though the landlord hiding
n0body can’t find him

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

though i live in despair
since they stop medicare
i can still make it here
with or without welfare

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
i love new york

if i could make it there
i’ll make it anywhere
it’s up to you, new york!
new york!
