When you're a boy
Some days are tough
Lying on your bed
Playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp
You gotta escape
Want to go and wander
In the ticker-tape
You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
Cause you're a New York
City boy
Where Seventh Avenue
Meets Broadway

The street is amazing
The hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware
At the latest deal
Hear a song
That's the bomb!
If you don't get the mix
It's gone eighty-six
You feel the deal is real
You're in New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
Cause you're a New York
City boy
Where Seventh Avenue
Meets Broadway
New York City boy
This is your reward day
Cause you're a New York
City boy
Where Seventh Avenue
Meets Broadway

Then as the evening falls
You can return its calls

You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City
