Got to go to New York, see what's going on today
What do they think about living, what kind of music they play.
Got to go to New York, see those alligators
Living together in the sewer, got to find out if it's true.

I wanna walk down Broadway, I wanna see Harlem
I wanna go on my way between all those men
That I don't know what do they look like and what do I.

Got to go to New York, I'm a little bit home-stoned
What is the color of the river ? How is the garbage in the street ?
Got to go to New York, hope I'll find some friends because
It's a very big city, I suppose.
