And he won't be down on Wall Street anymore
And he won't be down on Wall Street in the morning
And you know your limit
In a New York minute
If you find somebody to love in this world,
you'd better hang on to their neck
If you find somebody to love in this world,
you'd better hang on tooth and nail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You'd better hang on to their hair.
or
If you find somebody to love in this world
You'd better hang on to the mail.
If you find somebody to love in this world
You'd better hang on tooth and nail.
In a New York minute, things can get pretty straight
In a New York minute, things can get pretty strange
Livin' in in mini.
In a New York minute.
On some solitary lock
On some solitary rock
Somebody's going to jerk
Somebody's going to jail
With a New York gimmick
In a New York Minute
You better hang on to their neck.
You better hang on tooth and nail.
You can get out of the rain
You can get out of the way
