lyrics

Let me tell you 'bout a girl who floats 'round this old town and my mind
She's got gypsy eyes and raven's hair, she's dressed in leather that fits her just right
She keeps the sad sacks at a distance and they wonder what they're missing and why
But she doesn't see them in her eyes as the liquor flows throughout the night in style

I was in her eyeline once, we spent some nights just talking, it was nice
Then I blew my little cool, before I knew it she was out of sight
She travelled 'cross the Big Pond, to teach some kids some sing-song and dance
But she kept us in the picture with her Instagram and scripture of jive.

She's a New York City Girl, she goes at ninety miles per hour 'round my world
She's a New York City Girl, she's got the rhythm of the city in her soul
She's a New York City Girl, hits the sidewalks in her pretty winter coat
She's a New York City Girl, so refined and always busy on the go

Now she's back in town and with her retinue around she's still the same
Hitting town again on a night that never ends to dull the pain
The shadows of the city hang too heavy on her pretty brow, my friend
So she's off to some utopia where there's booze and pills and dope and you're not there

She's a New York City Girl, she goes at ninety miles per hour 'round my world
She's a New York City Girl, she's got the rhythm of the city in her soul
She's a New York City Girl, I'm de Niro, you're Minelli, that's the show
She's a New York City Girl, dressed like Hepburn A at Tiffany & Co

And I'm counting on the day when you come 'round my way
And we'll find ourselves a little hideaway
In Brooklyn Heights we'll play and there we'll hear the strains
Of a little song I wrote today

New York City Girl, New York City Girl, New York City Girl
New York City Girl, New York City Girl, New York City Girl
New York City Girl, New York City Girl, New York City Girl
New York City Girl, New York City Girl, New York City Girl
