When you're a boy Some days are tough Lying on your bed Playing punk rock and stuff Home is a boot camp You gotta escape Wanna go and wander in the ticker-tape You feel the deal is real You're a New York City boy So young, so run into New York City New York City boy You'll never have a bored day 'Cause you're a New York City boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway The street is amazing the hootchies unreal Check out all the hardware At the latest deal Hear a song That's the bomb! If you don't get that mix It's gone eighty-six You feel the deal is real You're in New York City Then when the evening falls You can return it's calls New York City boy You'll never have a bored day 'Cause you're a New York City boy Where Seventh Avenus meets Broadway New York City boy This is your reward day 'Cause you're a New York City boy Where Seventh Avenus meets Broadway
