New New Yorkers Lyrics

Old New Yorkers

Worried About

The New New Yorkers

Walking out

The places that they contemplate

The places that we congregate

Today there was a warning shot

Fired down at Mom and Pop Shops

Walking out with furniture

Walking on our furniture today

The places that they're coming from

The faces that they're running from

Will face the four-way arbiter

Face the hallway monitor

There is a job without a doubt

Well, thank you all for coming out

It's mighty nice to be here

Mighty nice to see you all agree

From the window of a pair of docks

Way on down at Chelsea blocks

A bathtub in the kitchen

A metal bar to get back in

We're christened by a falling drop

The fall out of our falling out

Adorn the repeat structure

Adorn our repeat structure today

We sit beside you on the bus

We flow toward a common rush

Avoid the four-star pavement

Afford the four-star payment

Make ripples in the Hudson

Make grips with ones who love you

In Brooklyn, Bronx, New Yorks, or Queens

Rooming there can set you free

So, raise a toast for those who came before

Who laid the bricks you now call yours

Oh, All New York we honor you

All New York we honor you today
