Versuri Bobby Osborne – New York City, N. Y. lyrics

[Bobby Osborne]
The Lord, he sat down with an interesting plan:
He had an idea for creating a man.
He’d give him everything he had to give —
But first, he’d have to make a place for Man to live:

[Bobby Osborne and Backup Singers]
New York City,
New York City, New York.

[Bobby Osborne]
The Lord, he knelt down and took a handful of dirt.
He rounded it out, and it soon became Earth…
A world of daffodils, meadows and streams.
And the Lord sent Man off with a bundle of dreams

[Bobby Osborne and Backup Singers]
To New York City,
New York City, New York.

[Bobby Osborne]
And the Lord, he looked down with a smile on his face…
For the world he had made was a beautiful place.
He made it for Man, who he loved in his heart,

[Bobby Osborne and Backup Singers]
And He plunked him right down in the prettiest part:

[Bobby Osborne]
Talkin’ ‘bout…

[Bobby Osborne and Backup Singers]
New York City,
New York City, New York.

[Bobby Osborne]
The Lord, he fell asleep, and the centuries flew by…
And as soon as he woke up, the world caught his eye.
The smoke of the factories covered the sun,
And where were the daffodils? Gone, every one.
And he sat down and he cried, when he saw what they’d done
To…

[Bobby Osborne and Backup Singers]
New York City,
New York City, New York.

[(Backup Singers) and Bobby Osborne]
(Where are the daffodils?) Talkin’ ‘bout New York City!
(Where are the streams?) Mm, mm!
(New York City,) Where are the daffodils?
(New York, New York.) Tell me, where are the streams?
(New York City,) Whatever happened to the meadows?
(New York, New York.) Each and every one of those dreams, tell me.
(New York City,) Whatever happened to New York City, now?
(New York, New York.) Mm, mm!
