'cause you're a New York City show
'cause you're a New York City boy
New York City boy you'll never enter fourty
New York City boy you'll never have a bored day
When you're a boy Sundays are tough
lying on the bed playing homeboys and stuff
When you're a boy some days are tough
lying on the bed playing punk rock and stuff
You're a New York City boy,
You'll never have a forte
You're a New York City boy,
you'll never have a bored day
You're a New York City boy, you'll never have a bored day, 7th Avenue, East Broadway
You're a New York City boy, you'll never have a bored day, 7th Avenue meets Broadway
You're a New York City boy
You never had a party.
You're a New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day.
You're a New York City boy
You'll never have aborted.
You're a New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day.
You're a new york city boy,
you'll never have a prom date
or
You're a new york city boy,
you'll never have a boyfriend
or
You're a new york city boy,
you'll never have a boyfriend
You're a new york city boy,
you'll never have a bored day
