Don't care if it's Chinatown or Rock Riverside
Don't Care if it's Chinatown or (on) Riverside
I still down believe there is such as thing as the Hudson river line of Greyhound!
Don't care in vagina town or on Riverside.
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.
Had a touch of the river mongoose.
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues.
I don't care if it's Chinatown or Rotten Riverside.
Don't care if it's Chinatown or (on) Riverside.
Out of touch with the Ritalin blues.
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues.
And oh, what a waste of time
And I don't want to waste more time
I ain't taking a great howl
I ain't taking a Greyhound
I'm in New York, stick around
I'm in a New York state of mind
I'm in a New Year's state of mind
I'm in a New York state of mind
I'm in a Newark state of mind
I'm in a New York state of mind
Newark, NJ is located close to New York City.
I'm in a moolah state of mind
I'm in a New York State of mind
I’m in a moolah state of mind
I’m in a New York State of mind
