That’s No Joke Songtext
von Shirley Horn

Now when you′re out, out on the town
Running around you see a million things
You've never seen before
Just grab a train, any old train, under the ground
Yes you′re in my whole town
And now you know the score

When you see Broadway on Sunday
Your heart will jump for joy
And Coney is a play toy for every girl and boy


Now tell the world where you have been
And what you have seen
You know just what I mean
What else is there to say
I've seen Hollywood and Chicago too
Pittsburgh and all her smoke
And buddy I'll take New York and that′s no joke

You′ll see a million things
You've never seen before
Yes you′re in my old town
And now you know the score
When you see Broadway on Sunday
Your heart will jump for joy
And buddy it's a playground for every girl and boy

Just tell the world where you have been
And what you have seen
You know just what I mean
What else is there to say
I′ve seen Hollywood and Chicago too
Pittsburgh and all her smoke
And buddy I'll take New York and that′s no joke
