Got to go to New York
  See what's going on today
  What do they think about living
  What kind of music they play.
  
  Got to go to New York
  See those alligators
  Living together in the sewer
  Got to find out if it's true.
  
  I wanna walk down Broadway
  I wanna see Harlem
  I wanna go on my way
  Between all those men
  That I don't know
  What do they look like
  And what do I.
  
  Got to go to New York
  I'm a little bit home-stoned
  What is the color of the river
  How is the garbage in the street.
  
  Got to go to New York
  Hope I'll find some friends because
  It's a very big city
  I suppose.
