New York Groove Lyrics
Many years since I was here
On the street I was passin' my time away
To the left and to the right
Buildings towering to the sky
It's outta sight in the dead of night
Here I am, and in this city
With a fistful of dollars
And baby, you'd better believe
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove
In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' 'Where are we?'
Stop at 3rd and 43, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me
Feels so good tonight, who cares about tomorrow
So baby, you'd better believe
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove...
On the street I was passin' my time away
To the left and to the right
Buildings towering to the sky
It's outta sight in the dead of night
With a fistful of dollars
And baby, you'd better believe
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' 'Where are we?'
Stop at 3rd and 43, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me
So baby, you'd better believe
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove

I was in a Manhattan night club some years back. There were four USMC LCPs who were on liberty. They did a line dance to this song corps style. It may sound corny, but you had to see it. They brought the house down that night as they did at Iwo Jima. As one can conclude, they had free soda pops the rest of the night.
