I’ll Take New York Songtext
von Tom Waits

I′ll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I′ll ride that dream to the end of the line
I'm gonna be goin' places
I′ll get a ride
Take me to the Riverside
I′m gonna take you New York
I'll make it happen
I′m on the caboose
I'm drinking Manhattans
I′ll take a splash on the big town
That's how I will arrive
Have you got two tens for a five?
You′ve gotta roll out the carpet
Strike up the band


Break out the best champagne when I land
You gotta beat the parade drum
Hit all the bars
I want the moon and the stars
I'm gonna take you New York
I'll make it happen
I′m on the caboose
I′m drinking Manhattans
And I know someday they are going to name a
street after me right next door to old Franklin D
I'm gonna take you big town
Come on New York, come on move over big town
I take New York, come on big town
Come on get happy New York
Come on...
