I've been down that path before
One day when I was bored
And in New York
I was a pretty boy
And the girls all wanted me
In New York
I was filthy
But I never let them stop me
In New York
I've been down some lonely roads
Testified before the lords
Of old New York
I was poetry
While the hounds of death haunted me
In New York
I was so lonely
But I never let that stop me
In New York
In New York
Was the ambassador of Paris
Made love to every millionaires
That I'd meet
How they flaunted me
Through the parties and the streets of gay Paris
I have traveled many shores
But through the years I never bored
Of old New York
Older but pretty
And there's always some new party
In New York
In New York
Take it from me I swear it
I will be yours eternally unbearably
For at least a week
And when we're dancing cheek to cheek
You'll see that
You had a good time with me in old New York
I swear it
Baby we're the king and queen and
We'll have a lovely time you'll see and
We can do most anything in New York
