The songs of Gerard Kenny and Drey Shepperd


New York, New York, so good they named it twice,


I was eating a gyro sandwich walking down Eighth Avenue
When a young girl came up to me and said "Brother, you got something I can chew?"
Well I kept walking along trying to make up a song about what to do,
Telling how the city lights and the Broadway nights are like a dream come true Good old

chorus

New York, New York, so good they named it twice,
New York, New York, all the scandal and the vice, 1 love it!
New York, New York, now isn't it a pity - what they say about
New York City

It was a really nice night for a good street fight or a robbery
But I always knew in my home town that would never happen to me
I kept walking around trying to make up a sound 'bout what it's like to be
in the city of light on a rag time night, it's something more than free
in good old

chorus:

Every time I have to leave and travel far away
I am never ever happy 'til I'm home to stay. home to stay in New York

rag time solo:

New York, New York, so good they named n twice,
New York, New York,all the scandal and the vice, I love it!
New York, New York, now isn't it a pity - what they say about New York City
