 Rate New York City
Artist : John Lennon
Song : New York City
Standing on the corner
Just me and Yoko
Ono
We was waiting for Jerry to land
Up
come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing,
"Have a marijuana if you can"
His name was
David Peel
And we found that he was real
He
sang, "The Pope smokes dope every day"
Up come
a policeman shoved us up the street
Singing,
"Power to the people today!"
New York
City...New York City...New York City
Que pasa,
New York?
Que pasa, New York?
Well down
to Max's Kansas City
Got down the nitty
gritty
With the Elephants Memory Band
Laid
something down
As the news spread
around
About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory
Band!
And we played some funky boogie
And
laid some tutti frutti
Singing, "Long Tall
Sally's a man."
Up come a preacherman trying
to be a teacher
Singing, "God's a red herring
in drag!"
New York City...New York
City...New York City
Que pasa, New
York?
Que pasa, New York?
New York
City...New York City...New York City
Que pasa,
New York?
Que pasa, New York?
Well we
did the Staten Island Ferry
Making movies for
the telly
Played the Fillmore and Apollo for
freedom
Tried to shake our image
Just a
cycling through the Village
But found that we
had left it back in London
Well nobody came to
bug us
Hustle us or shove us
So we decided
to make it our home
If the Man wants to shove
us out
We gonna jump and shout
The Statue
of Liberty said, "Come!"
New York
City...New York City...New York City
Que pasa,
New York?
Que pasa, New York?
New York
City...back in New York City...New York
City
Que pasa, New York?
Que pasa, New
York?
