New York, New York,
Good bye girl
And they meet
On Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.
The stranger in the moonlight,
Looks stranger in the moonlight
And they meet
On Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.
And we meet
On Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.
Good bye girl
And they meet
On Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.
The stranger in the moonlight,
Looks stranger in the moonlight
And they meet
On Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.
And we meet
On Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central
Oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down down beneath the ground
And it's a new day,
It's a new dawn,
In New Amsterdam.
