New Yorker - Chuck

When I graduated college

I moved into the east village

I got a job at a cool office

I got Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits

Huh-huh-huh

Huh-huh-huh

I found a couple bars to lay my head

And I drove to Queens and I bought a bed

I made a whole bunch of New York friends

And I wore all black cause everyone else did

Huh-huh-huh

Huh-huh-huh

And now I’m a New Yorker

At an art gallery downtown

I’m a New Yorker

Get the hell outta my way now

Yankees, Rangers, and Knicks

Theater, Pizza, Velvet Underground

I’m a New Yorker

Get the hell outta my way now and go die

Now I’m used to living hand to mouth

I go to Rockaway when it’s really hot out

I hate Williamsburg North, East and South

I know all the lunch spots in Midtown

Huh-huh-huh

Huh-huh-huh

I work so hard that my hair’s been gettin' thin

I ain’t got no time to hit the gym

I picked up a little bit of Spanish

I’m a pretty smart guy, not for nothing

Huh-huh-huh

Huh-huh-huh

And now I’m a New Yorker

At an art gallery downtown

I’m a New Yorker

Get the hell outta my way now

Yankees, Rangers, and Knicks

Theater, Pizza, Velvet Underground

I’m a New Yorker

Get the hell outta my way now and go die

Go die

Go die

Go die

Go die
