| What songs can we write? |
| What songs can we write, When streets are quite bare? Times Square has no fright And strangeness becomes rare. It will become such a bore When most people we meet Are checking out at a store Toting shopping bags so neat. The gritty Lower East Side, I tell you, my good friend, Will resemble a Disney ride? Postcards they will send. Dear Mom, You will never believe, I’m standing on a New York street. Old-time New Yorkers will oddly grieve Manhattan’s depiction of a city so sweet. |
