I Happen To Like New York Lyrics - Liza Minnelli

I happen to like New York, I happen to love this town 

I like the city air, I like to drink of it 

The more I see New York, the more I think of it 

I like the sight and the sound and even the stink of it 

I happen to like New York 

I like to go to Battery Park and watch the liners booming in 

I often ask myself why should it be that they come so far across the sea? 

I suppose it's because they all agree with me 

They happen to like New York

Last Sunday afternoon I took a trip to Hackensack 

But after I gave Hackensack the once over 

I took the next train back 

I happen to like New York 

And oh, the Easter Show at the Music Hall 

A perfect delight 

And oh, pastrami on rye at the Carnegie Deli 

There's joy in each pie 

And Madison Square for a Friday night fight 

Or a walk along Broadway to guest at the lights 

And at Carnegie Hall where the atmosphere's right 

Life at the lights, at the night

I happen to like New York, I happen to love this burg 

And when I have to give the world my last farewell 

And the undertaker comes to ring my funeral bell 

I don't wanna go to heaven, don't wanna go to hell 

I happen to like New York, I happen to like New York 

I happen to like New York
