New York's My Home - dick haymes

Listen all you New Yorkers

There's a rumour going round

That some of you good people

Want to leave this town

Well you better consult with me

Before you go (yeah)

Cause I been to all those places

And I know

(Chicago) well Chicago's all right

It's got Marshall Field and

Soldier's Field and it's

On a nice lake

But it hasn't got

The hansoms in the park

It hasn't got a skyline after dark

(That's why New York's his home)

Let me never leave it

New York's my home sweet home

(San Francisco)

San Francisco is a lovely place

It's got lots of hills

And lots of thrills and it's

Near an ocean of some size

But it hasn't got

The Bowery or The Bronx

It hasn't got the Harlem honkytonks

(That's why New York's his home)

Yeah it's my favorite city

New York's my home sweet home

(St Louis)

Lots of people like St Louis

It's got lots of shoes

And the St Louis blues and one

Of our larger rivers runs by

But let's face it

It hasn't got the opera in The Met

It hasn't got a famous string quartet

(That's why New York's his home)

No not a place to visit

New York's my home sweet home

(Hollywood) Hollywood

Hollywood's got movie stars and

Movie czars and cocktail bars and

Shiny cars and a wonderful climate

(Cough cough) they say

But it hasn't got

The handy subway trains

You seldom find a taxi

When it's pouring down rain

(That's why New York's his home)

Yeah take your California

New York's my home sweet home

So save your time and trouble

Save your railroad fare

I said save your time and trouble

Save your railroad fare

Cause when you leave New York

Man you don't go anywhere

(That's why New York's his home)

Man you don't go anywhere
