Rockin' Around in N. Y. C. - Marshall Crenshaw

Whenever idleness is making me insane

Well then I feel I should be getting the train on the double

Here comes trouble

I hit the city and my head is a-reelin'

I get the feelin' that it was really was worth going after

When we’re tastin' disaster

So 'round and 'round and 'round we go

Through seventeen lights in a row

Take a hold of my hand and come with me

We’ll go rockin' around in NYC

Whenever ennui is takin' me way down

Well then I feel I should be gettin' to town on the double

Here comes trouble

I hit the city and I’m feelin' the thunder

No need to wonder if it was really worth going after

When we’re tastin' disaster

So 'round and 'round and 'round we go

Through seventeen lights in a row

Take a hold of my hand and come with me

We’ll go rockin' around in NYC
