N. Y. C.

Hey, there Mister
Let me tell ya
I got something here
Gonna blow your mind

The way that it is
There's no turning back
They can burn it out of your blood
Never out of your mind

No way out of this place
My neighborhood
House and garden topiary
Just like Hollywood

On the mainline to Harlem
You want to live
Desdemona waiting for ya
Somethin's gotta give

New York City
