New York In The 70s (Sesame St.) Songtext / Lyric

Lord, is it Monday again? Boy, are you leaving again?

And are we fighting or can we be friends?

You say, "It's so hard to love you from afar

And I would hold you but I don't know where you are

You can call me later today

If you decide to join the human race, okay"

Oh boy, we are so good, so bad in so many ways

And when I think about the way that life should be

I think of Sesame Street, kids of every color holding hands

And laughing down the street, New York in the 70s

And if there's one thing that I could learn from TV

I wish that I could learn to be carefree

We could all use just a little more laughing

And you say, "It's so hard to believe in you and me"

When you don't believe in anything

But that's not true, I believe in dancing feet

And baseball in the street and swimming in fountains

To escape the summer heat, New York in the 70s

Oh boy, we are so good, so bad in so many ways

And you said, "So hard to love you from afar"

And I would grab you and kiss you but I can't see where you are

And you never tip your cards to me, no, not as far as I can see
