Well I been all around this crazy world Been to London. I been to France Went to Waikiki with my best buddy And we did the hula dance
Spent a whole paycheck one night in Rome It was well worth the dinero I like to have some fun and shake my buns When I'm in Rio de Janeiro
Stay out all damn night When I'm in Mexico City Then I oversleep and miss my flight Mmm, what a pity
Went to Tokyo, and, don't you know I almost lost my life Made it out of there by the skin of my teeth After I kissed Godzilla's wife
On a Swedish dance floor They yelled for more And they almost crowned me king
I like to ski half drunk In the ole Swiss Alps A yodelayheehoo kinda thing
Yeah I love all these places They're a traveler's delight But I'd trade ‘em all for New York City Just to have a classic New York night
Walking down a New York City Street Can Make anyone feel alive There's a tap in your toe And everybody you pass Will raise their hands to give a high five
There's a soundtrack to the city Jazz in every pizza shop And you'll find your groove In that New York funk Ringing out from every rooftop
We started our night at the Empire State Building And had ourselves some beers We met the mayor there And he shook our hands And he led a round of cheers
He said, “Go out and have some fun.” And he gave us a bunch of cash Said, “My apartment's always open If you need a place to crash.”
It was a classic New York Night
We boogied on down to SoHo Then sang a song at Carnegie Hall Met some poets in the East Village For a jazzy beatnik bar crawl
Went to Harlem to see some Broadway plays Arthur Miller—man, that guy can write Then we published our review in the New York Times Made the front page the very same night
Took a hansom cab to Washington Square Where they play buckets just like bongos Went to the Sears Tower, which is in New York I think To be honest I really don't know
Saw the Globetrotters play the Yankees On the ice at MSG Bought twenty little statues that looked Exactly like the Statue of Liberty
Got sloshed and buzzed in Chinatown Ate pasta in Little Italy Watched the New Year's ball drop in old Times Square That thing can't get much more glittery
Filled the balloons for Thanksgiving Got in a St. Paddy's Day fight Then lit off some fireworks for Uncle Sam
It was a classic New York night
(New York City!) It's a hell of a town! (New York City!) The best town around (New York City!) There's no turning back And the taxicabs drive on the subway tracks!
We took the B train up to Brooklyn, baby The Q train out to Queens We took the J train to Billy Joel's apartment Watched the Jets on his new flatscreen
Just one thing to remember Just one thing to recall No trains go to Staten Island! No trains go there at all! No trains go to Staten Island!
If you wanna go there, take my advice And give a taxicab a call And have a classic New York night
We stopped into CBGB's To watch some New York City bands The Ramones rocked out, and the Strokes were cool Beyoncé's husband shook our hands
But Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys Man, they blew us all away The very best part was when they pointed at us And they asked us if we wanted to play
We hopped onstage and took their gear And started playing with all of our might “Help Me, Rhonda” with The Beach Boys It was a classic New York Night
Well you know it's true what they say This whole damn city is a melting pot So many people and languages flying around I feel like I'm at Epcot
Then all of a sudden I snap my fingers Had a beautiful idea Let's hop on a jet to Disney World I hear it's great this time of year
We stopped at our apartment Where we pay a billion dollars rent Went to JFK and LaGuardia, too Both named after presidents
Hopped a plane to Orlando Had a cocktail on the flight
It was a classic New York night
We whirled and twirled in Disney World It was a classic New York— Mickey, my man, we'll see you when we land It was a classic New York— Had a wonderful day in FLA What can I say? We Like it that way Tomorrow at ten we're gonna do it again
It was a classic New York night
If you can make it there You've really made it there
It was a classic New York night
Don't wait up for me I'm going wild in the city New York City! It's a hell of a damn city It's a classic New York City For those crazy New York Nights
God I love this town! God I love the Empire State Building! It's a hell of a town! A hell of a town! Lord, I love this town
It was a classic New York night
