Lyrics
And as the first light of the morning
Floods in to count the score
And wash away the plans and dreams
Cooked up the night before
Yes, what seemed like a good idea
A chance to make a fast buck
Can quickly turn to dust
With one twist of lady luck
For she's a tough mistress
If you play the wrong card
So just one bad deal done down
And you'll find your dream too hard
She'll tempt you
She'll tease you
And often displease you
But the draw
Of The Big Apple
Just cannot be missed
She'll court you
And escort you
into another time and place
'Cos one bite
of The Big Apple
Is too hard to resist
New York, The Big Apple
New York, The Big Apple
New York, The Big Apple
New York, The Big Apple
But New York still lives on
To tempt another game chancer
With dreams of wealth untold
But The Apple isn't always the answer
New York, The Big Apple
New York, The Big Apple
New York, The Big Apple
New York, The Big Apple
