Hey Manhattan! Songtext / Lyric

Guess what? Summer's arrived

I feel the world's on my side

The Brooklyn Bridge stretches below me

A billion souls, all dying to know me



Well, here I am, loaded with promise

And knee deep in grace

What I want is here on my face and

I feel like I own the whole damn



Hey Manhattan! Here I am

Call me star-struck Uncle Sam

Strolling Fifth Avenue

Just to think Sinatra's been here too



These myths we can't undo

They lie in wait for you

We live them till they're true



Manhattan, doobie doo

Hey Manhattan! Doobie doo






Some days you've got to get outside

Look there's, "The Carlyle"

That's the place where Kennedy stayed and

Where were you when he died?

(Yeah, some things are slow to fade)



There they were, loaded with promise

And knee deep in fate

When what you want shows on your face

And all that's left litters the whole damn place



Hey Manhattan! Here I am

Call it bad-luck Uncle Sam

Scrounging Fifth Avenue

Just to think the poor could live here too



But what are they to do?

These myths belong to you

We live them till they're true



Manhattan, doobie doo

Hey Manhattan! Doobie doo
