Down and Out In New York City
Lyricist:Bodie Chandler, Barry De Vorzon
Say brother, can I borrow a thin brother You know, a dime? Say it, say it, say it sis I'd sure like to have this little dime for me So I can get this cup of coffee Cop me a snack, somethin' I guess I better quit tryin' to be hip and get on down Yea man, like, you know
I was born in New York City on a Monday It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout two to noon
All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Got the fat cats, in the bad hats laying it on real good Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy
When the cold wind comes, it live at New York City And the street's no place to be but there you are
So you try hard, or you die hard No one really gives a good damn You try hard, and you die hard No one gives a damn
Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy
[Incomprehensible]in New York City Ain't no way to be, but where can you go? When you're down and out in New York City I'm never, never, never gonna get that way again, ow
No, no, no No, no, not me
When you need a friend [Incomprehensible] When you want a friend
Gonna get myself together 'til the mornin' Gonna leave it all and a one bad dream
All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor Got the fat cats, in the bad hats, laying it on real good Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy, wow, ow, yeah
Give me a shine boy
