Rockin' Around in N.Y.C.

Marshall Crenshaw

Whenever idleness is making me insane 
Well then I feel I should be getting the train on the double 
Here comes trouble 
I hit the city and my head is a-reelin' 
I get the feelin' that it was really was worth going after 

When we're tastin' disaster 
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go 
Through seventeen lights in a row 
Take a hold of my hand and come with me 
We'll go rockin' around in NYC 
Whenever ennui is takin' me way down 

Well then I feel I should be gettin' to town on the double 
Here comes trouble 
I hit the city and I'm feelin' the thunder 
No need to wonder if it was really worth going after 
When we're tastin' disaster 

So 'round and 'round and 'round we go 
Through seventeen lights in a row 
Take a hold of my hand and come with me 
We'll go rockin' around in NYC
