When you're a boy Some days are tough Lying on your bed Playing punk rock and stuff Home is a boot camp You gotta escape Wanna go and wander In the ticker-tape You feel the deal is real You're a New York City boy So young, so run Into New York City New York City boy You'll never have a bored day 'Cause you're a New York City boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway The street is amazing The hoochies unreal Check out all the hardware At the latest deal Hear a song That's the bomb! If you don't get that mix It's gone eighty-six You feel the deal is real You're in New York City New York City Boy You'll never have a bored day 'Cause you're a New York City boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway New York City boy This is your reward day 'Cause you're a New York City boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway Then when the evening falls You can return its calls You feel the deal is real You're a New York City boy So young, so run Into New York City
