New York City boy
YouÂ’ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

When you're a boy, some days are tough
Lying on your bed playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp you gotta escape
Wanna 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

New York City boy
YouÂ’ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

The street is amazing
The hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware at the latest deal
Hear a song, thatÂ’s the bomb
If you donÂ’t get that mix itÂ’s gone 86

You feel, the deal, is real
you're in New York City

New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Then as evening falls
You can return itÂ’s calls
(Party on, party on, party on, p-party on
Party on, party on, party on, p-party on
Party on, party on, party on, p-party on
Party on, party on, party on, p-party on)

You feel, the deal, is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy (New York City)
YouÂ’ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
New York City Boy (New Yrok City boy)
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City by
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh New York City Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh New York City Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh

New York City boy
YouÂ’ll never have a bored day
'Cause your a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
(YouÂ’ll never have a bored day, New York City)
New York City boy, This is your reward day
(YouÂ’ll never have a bored day, New York City)
'Cause your a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
