Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, c′mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

He's kind of tall
He′s really fine
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh, so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
He swept me off my feet

Ooh-wee, you ought to come and see
How he walks (yeah-yeah)
And how he talks (yeah-yeah)

Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City


He's really down
And he′s no clown
He has the finest penthouse I′ve ever seen in town
And he's cute
In his mohair suit
And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot

Ooh-wee, say you ought to come and see
His dueling scar
And brand-new car
Every time he says he loves me
Chills run down my spine
Every time he wants to kiss me
Oh, he makes me feel so fine

Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

Well, he can dance (he can dance, take a chance with a little)
And make romance (romance baby, ′cause he's a looker)
That′s when I fell in love
With just one glance (he's sweet-talking and cool)

He was shy
And so was I
And now I know I′ll never, ever say goodbye
Ooh-wee, say you ought to come and see
He's the most (yeah-yeah)
From coast to coast (yeah-yeah)
