"New York City" lyrics - DELBERT MCCLINTON

Been down in the dumps for a day or two
Thinkin' baby, it was time for me to make a move
Late night skyline that's when it hit me
Well, I got to have me some of that New York City

Now, I was leaving San Diego in a Chevrolet van
I, out across the desert into no man's land
I just love the west you know, sure it's pretty
But I got to have me some of that New York City

I've been away too long and I got the itch
To do a little time in the east coast nitch
Down on Broadway and do a little diddy
Smack dab in the middle of New York City, oh yeah

I've been away too long and I got the itch
To do a little time in the east coast nitch
Down on Broadway and do a little diddy
Smack dab in the middle of New York City, oh yeah

Now, I was leaving California on a warm summer night
The ocean on my left and the mountains on my right
To leave it all behind sure seemed like a pity
But I got to have me some of that New York City, oh yeah, oh yeah
