He is just a boy in the city
 Dressed the same he's uniformly pretty
 He knows it's the time
 He can read the signs
 He can really change
 In the city

 The best dressed boy in town he thinks it's funny
 Half a dozen jobs makes his money
 He is just a boy in the city
 Friday night propels Walter Mitty
 It's about time 
 He can read the signs
 A night on the town
 In the city

 Monday is a work day
 Tuesday's much the same
 Wednesday comes and goes away
 Thursday's back again

 Friday night is Sunday in the morning
 Monday brings the weekend's final yawning
 Now it's about time
 He has crossed the line
 He is miles away
 In the city

 (City!)

 (City!)

 (City!)

 (City!)

 Now it's about time
 He can read the signs
 He can really change
 It is on his mind
 He has crossed the line
 He has gone once more
 From the city
