New York City Lyrics - Anthology - John Lennon

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?
