New York City Lyrics - Village People - Village People

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 evryday. 

Up come a policeman, shoved us of 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? 

Hey! hey!

Well, down to maxs, 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. 

Well, we played some funky boogie, and laid some tutti fritti, 

Singing, long tall sallys a man. 

Up come a preacher man, tryin to be a teacher, 

Singing, gods a red herring in drag!

Alright, new york city! 

New york city! 

Que pasa, new york?

Hey! hey! 

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 we found that we had left it back in london. 

Well, nobody came to bug us, hustle us or shove us, 

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!
