Listen all you new yorkers
Theres a rumours going around
That some of you good people want to leave this town

But you better consult with me before you goyeah
`cause ive been to all those places and i know
(chicago)

Well chicagoss all right its got marshall field and soldiers field and its on a nice lake
But it hasnt got the handsoms in the park
It hasnt got the skyline after dark

(thats why new yorks my home never let me leave it)
New yorks my home sweet home
San francisco

San francisco is a lovely place its got lots of hills and lots of thrills
And its near an ocean of some size
But it hasnt got the bowery or the bronx

It hasnt got the harlem honkytonks
(thats why new yorks my home sweet home its my favorite city)
New yorks my home sweet home

St;louis
St.louis lots of people like st.louis
Its got lots of shoes and st.louis blues and one of our larger rivers runs by

But it hasnt got the opera in the met
It hasnt got a famous string quartet
(thats why new yorks my home nonot a place to visit)

Hollywood
Hollywoods got movie stars and movie czars
@@#!tail barsshiny cars and a wonderful climate they say

But it hasnt got the handy subway trains
You seldom find a taxi when it rains
(thats why new yorks my homeyeahtake you california)

New yorks my home sweet home
So save your time and trouble
Save your railroad fare

Save your time and trouble
Save your railroad fare
`cause when you leave new york

You dont go anywhere
