lirik lagu the sloppy boys – classic new york night
well i been all around this crazy world
been to london. i been to france
went to waikiki with my best buddy
and we did the hula dance
spent a whole paycheck one night in rome
it was well worth the denaro
i like to have some fun and shake my buns
when i’m in rio de janeiro
stay out all d-mn night
when i’m in mexico city
then i oversleep and miss my flight
mmm, what a pity
went to tokyo, and, don’t you know
i almost lost my life
made it out of there by the skin of my teeth
after i kissed godzilla’s wife
on a swedish dance floor
they yelled for more
and they almost crowned me king
i like to ski half drunk
in the ole swiss alps
a yodelayheehoo kinda thing
yeah i love all these places
they’re a traveler’s delight
but i’d trade ‘em all for new york city
just to have a cl-ssic new york night
walking down a new york city street
can make anyone feel alive
there’s a tap in your toe
and everybody you p-ss
will raise their hands to give a high five
there’s a soundtrack to the city
jazz in every pizza shop
and you’ll find your groove
in that new york funk
ringing out from every rooftop
we started our night at the empire state building
and had ourselves some beers
we met the mayor there
and he shook our hands
and he led a round of cheers
he said, “go out and have some fun.”
and he gave us a bunch of cash
said, “my apartment’s always open
if you need a place to crash.”
it was a cl-ssic new york night
we boogied on down to soho
then sang a song at carnegie hall
met some poets in the east village
for a jazzy beatnik bar crawl
went to harlem to see some broadway plays
arthur miller—man, that guy can write
then we published our review in the new york times
made the front page the very same night
took a hansom cab to washington square
where they play buckets just like bongos
went to the sears tower, which is in new york i think
to be honest i really don’t know
saw the globetrotters play the yankees
on the ice at msg
bought twenty little statues that looked
exactly like the statue of liberty
got sloshed and buzzed in chinatown
ate pasta in little italy
watched the new year’s ball drop in old times square
that thing can’t get much more glittery
filled the balloons for thanksgiving
got in a st. paddy’s day fight
then lit off some fireworks for uncle sam
it was a cl-ssic new york night
(new york city!)
it’s a h-ll of a town!
(new york city!)
the best town around
(new york city!)
there’s no turning back
and the taxicabs drive on the subway tracks!
we took the b train up to brooklyn, baby
the q train out to queens
we took the j train to billy joel’s apartment
watched the jets on his new flatscreen
just one thing to remember
just one thing to recall
no trains go to staten island!
no trains go there at all!
no trains go to staten island!
if you wanna go there, take my advice
and give a taxicab a call
and have a cl-ssic new york night
we stopped into cbgb’s
to watch the new york city bears
the ramones rocked out, and the strokes were cool
beyoncé’s husband shook our hands
but brian wilson and the beach boys
man, they blew us all away
the very best part was when they pointed at us
and they asked us if we wanted to play
we hopped onstage and took their gear
and started playing with all of our might
“help me, rhonda” with the beach boys
it was a cl-ssic new york night
well you know it’s true what they say
this whole d-mn city is a melting pot
so many people and languages flying around
i feel like i’m at epcot
then all of a sudden i snap my fingers
had a beautiful idea
let’s hop on a jet to disney world
i hear it’s great this time of year
we stopped at our apartment
where we pay a billion dollars rent
went to jfk and laguardia, too
both named after presidents
hopped a plane to orlando
had a c-cktail on the flight
it was a cl-ssic new york night
we whirled and twirled in disney world
it was a cl-ssic new york—
mickey, my man, we’ll see you when we land
it was a cl-ssic new york—
had a wonderful day in fla
what can i say? we like it that way
tomorrow at ten we’re gonna do it again
it was a cl-ssic new york night
if you can make it there
you’ve really made it there
it was a cl-ssic new york night
don’t wait up for me
i’m going wild in the city
new york city!
it’s a h-ll of a d-mn city
it’s a cl-ssic new york city
for those crazy new york nights
god i love this town!
god i love the empire state building!
it’s a h-ll of a town!
a h-ll of a town!
lord, i love this town
it was a cl-ssic new york night
yeah!
