N.Y.C. Songtext
Warbucks:

What is it about you

You're big

You're loud

You're tough


NYC

I go years without you

Then I

Can't get

Enough



Enough of the cab drivers answering back

In the language far from pure

Enough of frankfurters answering back
Brother, you know you're in

NYC



Too busy too crazy

Too hot

Too cold

Too late

I'm sold

Again

On NYC

(spoken)

come on you slowpokes, we gotta get to the Roxy before the prices

change.



All (New Yokers and Grace Annie and Warbucks):

NYC



Grace:

The shadows at sundown

The roofs

That scrape

The sky



All:

NYC



Warbucks and Grace:

The rich and the rundown

The parade

Goes by



Warbucks:

That other town has the

Empire State

And a mayor five foot two



No other town in

The whole forty eight

Can half compare

To you



All:

Oh NYC



Warbucks:

You make 'em all postcards



Warbucks and Grace:

You crowd

You cramp

You're still

The champ

Amen

For NYC



(NYC)

The shimmer of Times Square



Warbucks:

The pulse



Grace:

The beat



Warbucks and Grace:

The drive!

(NYC)



Warbucks and Grace:

The city's bright

As a penny arcade

It blinks, it tilts, it rings



Annie:

To think that I've lived here all of my life

And never seen these things



All:

Oh, NYC

The whole world keeps coming



Warbucks:

By bus



Grace:

By train



Warbucks and Grace:

You can't

Explain

Their yen

For



Star to be

NYC

Just got here this morning

Three bucks

Two bags

One me

NYC

I give you fair warning

Up there

In lights

I'll be

Go ask the gershwins or kaufman and hart

The place they love the best

Through California pays big for thier art

Their fan mial comes addressed to

NYC



Tomorrow a penthouse

That's way up high

Tonight

The "Y"

Why not

It's NYC



All:

NYC

You're standing room only

You crowd

You cramp

You're still

The champ

Amen

For NY



Man (spoken):

Keep it quiet down there!



All (quietly):

C



Usherette (spoken):

Immediate seating... there is immediate seating.



Warbucks (spoken):

Popcorn, what do you say to some popcorn? I haven't had popcorn since...

(Annie yawns)

(Warbucks singing)

Give in

Don't fight

Good girl

Good night

Sleep tight

In

NYC
