New York City Blues
Mac Rebennack / Doc Pomus
Dr. Clayton says
Dr. Clayton says
Dr. Clayton says
Harlem must be heaven
'Cause they sure got some angels there
Walkin' the streets a flyin' high
Spreadin' their wings everywhere
42nd street
42nd street
42nd street
Times square after dark
Is just a hustlers' paradise
You can buy anything or anyone
Just as long as you've got the price
Greenwich village swings
Greenwich village swings
Greenwich village swings
They got funky clubs
And outdoor cafes
They got seven day weekends
And thirty hour days
Little ain't you chinatown
And wall street runs this world
Millionaires rubbin' shoulders
With people who got nothin' left to lose
And when you put it all together
You got the New York city blues
