Rockin’ Around in N.Y.C. Songtext
von Marshall Crenshaw

Whenever idleness is making me insane
Then I feel, I should be getting to train on the double
And here comes trouble

I hit the city and my head is a reelin′
I get the feelin' that it really was worth going after
When we′re tastin' disaster

So 'round and ′round and ′round we go
The seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go rockin′ around in NYC

Whenever Ennui is takin' me way down
Then I feel I should be gettin′ to town on the double
Yeah, here comes trouble

I hit the city and I'm feelin′ the thunder
No need to wonder if it really was worth going after
When we're tastin' disaster


So ′round and ′round and 'round we go
Seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We′ll go 'round and ′round in NYC

Down NYC

Down NYC

So 'round and ′round and 'round we go
The seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go rockin′ around in NYC

Whenever Ennui is takin′ me way down
Then I feel, I should be getting to town on the double
Yeah, here comes trouble

I hit the city and my head is a reelin'
I get the feelin′ that it really was worth going after
When we're tastin′ disaster

So 'round and ′round and 'round we go
The seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go rockin′ around in NYC


′Round and 'round and ′round we go
The seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
Let's go rockin′ around in NYC

Down NYC

Down, down NYC

NYC

Yeah, NYC
