Spoken: You want 'em? Gome and get 'em

Uh huh, but I'm warning you kid!

Singing:
One minute I'm in Central Park
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
From the Bow'ry to St. Marks
Uh, There's a syncopated beat

I say "Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo"
I'm streetwise
I can improvise
I say "Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo"
I'm streetsmart
I've got New York City heart

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Then you can own this town
You can wear the crown

Why should I worry?
Tell me, Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just do-opulation
And I got street saviore faire

Ev'rything goes
Ev'rything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I cross that line
I got street savoire faire

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo (repeated)
