Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're a boy, some days are tough
Lying on your bed, playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a bootcamp, you gotta escape
Want to go and wander in the ticker-tape
You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run into New York City
[Verse 2]
New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
[Verse 3]
The street is amazing, the hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware at the latest deal
Hear a song, that's the bomb
If you don't get the mix, it's gone eighty-six
You feel the deal is real
You're in New York City
[Verse 4]
New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
[Verse 5]
New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
[Verse 6]
You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run into New York City
[Verse 7]
New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
[Verse 8]
New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
