My Personal Property - Original - Sammy Davis, Jr.

Today I feel New York is really

My personal property

Right down Broadway to City Hall

Every supermarket, every five and ten

All of Lincoln Center and the great UN

They’re all my personal property!

The zoo in Central Park is merely

My private menagerie

I’ve carved my name on ever tree

From Yonkers Raceway to Bowling Green

I own everything around and in-between

It’s all my personal property

The planetarium is mine alone

The old aquarium I also own

And since I feel today New York is really

My personal property

I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do

Since I like you very much

So very, very much

I’m gonna give it to you!

The planetarium is mine alone

The old aquarium I also own

And since I feel today New York is really

My personal property

I will tell you what I’m gonna do

Since I like you very much

So very, very much

I’m gonna give it

Please let me give it

I wanna give it

To you
