annie: the broadway musical 30th anniversary cast - n.y.c. lyrics
[warbucks, spoken]
ah, smell that! fifth avenue bus fumes! there’s no air like the air of new york! and you don’t realize how much you miss it, the whole d+mn city, until you’ve been away from it for a while. like the man says, after new york, everyplace else is bridgeport
[warbucks]
n.y.c
what is it about you?
you’re big
you’re loud
you’re tough
n.y.c
i go years without you
then i
can’t get
enough
enough of the cab drivers answering back
in language far from pure
enough of frankfurters answering back
oh brother, you know you’re
in n.y.c
too busy
too crazy
too hot
too cold
too late
i’m sold
again
on n.y.c
[warbucks, spoken]
come on you slowpokеs
we gotta get to the roxy bеfore the prices change
[new yorkers, grace, annie and warbucks]
nyc
[grace]
the shadows at sundown
the roofs
that scr+pe
the sky
[all]
n.y.c
[warbucks and grace]
the rich and the rundown
the parade
goes by
[warbucks]
that other town has the empire state
and a mayor five foot two
no other town in
the whole forty+eight
can half compare
to you
[all]
oh n.y.c
[warbucks]
you make ’em all postcards
[warbucks and grace]
you crowd
you cramp
you’re still
the champ
amen for
n.y.c
(new yorkers shouting)
[all]
the shimmer of times square
the pulse
the beat
the drive!
[warbucks]
you might say that i’m square
but d+mn!
i come
alive!
[all]
the city’s bright
as a penny arcade
[warbucks and grace]
it blinks, it tilts, it rings
[annie]
to think that i’ve lived here all of my life
and never seen these things
(instrumental)
[men]
oh, n.y.c
[women]
n.y.c
[men]
the whole world keeps coming
[women]
keeps coming
[men]
by bus
[women]
by bus
[men]
by train
[women]
by train
[men]
you can’t
explain
[women]
can not explain
[all]
their yen
for
[star to be]
n.y.c
just got here this morning
three bucks
two bags
one me
n.y.c
i give you fair warning
up there
in lights
i’ll be
go ask the gershwins or kaufman and hart
the place they love the best
though california pays big for their art
their fan mail comes addressed to n.y.c
tomorrow a penthouse
that’s way up high
tonight
the “y”
why not?
it’s n.y.c
[all]
n.y.c
you’re standing room only
you crowd
you cramp
you’re still
the champ
amen
for n.y.c
