[00:08.38]That some of you good people
[00:10.69]Want to leave this town
[00:13.07]Well you better consult with me

[00:27.35]Soldier's Field and it's
[00:29.96]On a nice lake
[00:33.38]But it hasn't got
[00:35.72]The hansoms in the park
[00:38.06]It hasn't got a skyline after dark
[00:41.81](That's why New York's his home)

[00:54.25]And lots of thrills and it's
[00:56.65]Near an ocean of some size
[01:01.13]But it hasn't got
[01:02.81]The Bowery or The Bronx
[01:05.48]It hasn't got the Harlem honkytonks
[01:09.23](That's why New York's his home)

[01:21.06]And the St.Louis blues and one
[01:23.29]Of our larger rivers runs by
[01:27.90]But let's face it
[01:30.45]It hasn't got the opera in The Met
[01:32.91]It hasn't got a famous string quartet

[02:02.66]But it hasn't got
[02:04.09]The handy subway trains
[02:06.80]You seldom find a taxi
[02:08.76]When it's pouring down rain
[02:10.79](That's why New York's his home)
