He is just a boy in the city
Dressed the same he's uniformly pretty
He knows it's the time

He can read the signs
He can really change
In the city


The best dressed boy in town he thinks it's funny
Half a dozen jobs makes his money

He is just a boy in the city
Friday night propels Walter Mitty
It's about time

He can read the signs
A night on the town
In the city


Monday is a work day
Tuesday's much the same

Wednesday comes and goes away
Thursday's back again


Friday night is Sunday in the morning
Monday brings the weekend's final yawning
Now it's about time

He has crossed the line
He is miles away
In the city


(City!)


(City!)

(City!)


(City!)


Now it's about time
He can read the signs
He can really change

It is on his mind
He has crossed the line
He has gone once more

From the city
