Lyrics
A little ditty 'bout New York
New York y'all
Walking down the avenue and it felt so strange
The homeless one I bumped into asked me for some change
My first day in the big apple tryin' to find my way
In a place that never sleeps bein' blown away
All the hussling and bustling
To begin their busy day
This was surely not a dream but a rude reality
My little town blues were put on hold
Who cared where I came from
With many biting from this apple
I wanted to bite some
I'm walking in New York
Walking down the avenue
(Walkin down, I'm walking down)
Down the 42nd street
Feeling strange in my own shoes
Walking down the avenue, yes it felt so strange
Visiting this new world, my life had surely changed
My little town blues were put on hold
Who cared where I came from
With many biting from this apple
I wanted to bite some
In another world, it was very clear to me
With the biting crawling, clawing, just to get a bite to eat
If I fall down I get back up
I will not miss a beat
'Cause I'm a panther in this jungle
Who will not accept defeat
I'm walking in New York
Walking down the avenue
(Walkin down, I'm walking down)
Down the 42nd street
Feeling strange in my own shoes
(I'm walking down)
'Cause I'm walking in New York
Walking down the avenue, woo-ooh
Down on 42nd street
Feeling strange in my own shoes, ooh-oes
(I'm walkin' down)
Come on!
New York
I'm singin' 'bout New Yo-yo
I'm singin' 'bout New York
I'm singin' 'bout New York
Ah, do you hear me singing?
Ah, do you hear me singing?
'Cause I'm walking in New York
Walking down the avenue
Walking down the avenue
On 42nd street
Feeling strange in my own shoes
I said I'm walkin' in
I'm walking in New York
Walking down the avenue
(Walkin down, I'm walking down)
Down on 42nd street
Feeling strange in my own shoes
In my own shoes I'm walkin' in New York, oh-yeah, woo!
Walking down the avenue
Down on 42nd street
Feeling strange, feeling strange in my own shoes
(I'm walkin' down, I'm walking down)
Feeling strange in my own shoes
I'm walking in New York
Walking down the avenue, ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah
Down on 42nd street
Feeling strange in my own shoes
Oh I'm walkin' in New York!
