jimmy winchell - mona lisas and mad hatters lyrics

[verse 1]
and now i know
that spanish harlem are not just pretty words to say
i thought i knew
but now i know that rose trees never grow
in new york city

[pre+chorus]
until you’ve seen these trash can dreams come true
you’ll stand at the edge while people run you through
and i thank the lord that there’s people out there like you
i thank the lord there’s people out there like you
[chorus]
while mona lisas and mad hatters
sons of bankers and sons of lawyers
turn around and say, “good morning” to the night
for unless they see the sky
but they can’t, and that is why
they know not if it’s dark outside or light

[verse 2]
this broadway’s got
a lot of songs to sing
and if i knew the tunes, i might join in
i’ll make my way alone
i’ll grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown
in new york city

[pre+chorus]
subway’s no way for a good man to go down
rich man can ride, and the hobo, he can drown
and i thank the lord for the people i have found
i thank the lord for the people i have found

[chorus]
while mona lisas and mad hatters
sons of bankers and sons of lawyers
turn around and say, “good morning” to the night
for unless they see the sky
but they can’t, and that is why
they know not if it’s dark outside or light
they know not if it’s dark outside or light
