New York City

Standing on the corner

Just me and Yoko Ono

We was waiting for jerry to land

Up come a man with the guitar in his hand

Singing "have a marijuana if you can"

His name was Davis Peel

And we found that he was real

He sangs"The pope smokes dope everyday"

Up come a police man shoved us up the street

Singin, "power to the people today!"



NYC...NYC...NYC

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?



Well we went to max's

Kansas City

Got down the nitty gritty

With the Elephants Memory Band

Laid something down

As the news spread around

About the Plastic Ono

Elephants Memory Band!

Well we played some funky boogie

And laid some tutti frutti

Singing "Long tall sally's a man"

Up come a preachman trying to be a teacher

Singing "God's a red herring in grag!"



NYC...NYC...NYC

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?

Well we did the Staten Island Ferry

Making movies for the telly

Played the fillmore and

Apollo for freedom,

Tried to shake our image

Just a cycling through the village

But found that we had left it back in London.

Well nobody came to bug us, hustle ud or shove us

so we decided to make it our home

If the man wants to shove us out

We gonna jump and shout

The Statue of Liberty said, "come!"



NYC...NYC...NYC

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?



NYC down in the village

What a bad-ass city!

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
