New York City

1st verse

Through the night I gambled

I played a real cool hand

People still remember

They say "There goes that man"

"Who always found four aces"

Lady luck was mine

'Cos I fought and won life's battles

and I made it just in time

2nd verse

"Come on make up the number"

That's all they had to say

"We'll take him for a ride"

It made me wanna stay

Well I taught them a lesson

To stop them foolin' round

The crowd, they really gathered

To see me break 'em down

Chorus

New York city, she's a friend of mine

New York city, she's a friend of mine

People think I cheat and lie

But I don't really care

'Cos in New York city now

People never stare

Well I taught them a lesson

To stop them foolin' round

The crowd, they really gathered

To see me break 'em down

Chorus
