New York Telephone Conversation

I was sleeping, gently napping when I heard the phone

Who is on the other end talking? Am I even home?

Did you see what she did to him? Did you hear what they said?

Just a New York conversation rattling in my head

Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear?

Oh, oh, my, and who really cares?

Just a New York conversation, gossip all of the time

Did you hear who did what to whom? Happens all the time

Who has touched and who has dabbled here in the city of shows?

Openings, closings, bad repartee, everybody knows

Oh, how sad and why do we call?

Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all

I am calling, yes, I'm calling, just to speak to you

For I know this night will kill me if I can't be with you

If I can't be with you
