TOM WAITS lyrics : "I'll Take New York"

I'll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I'll ride this dream

to the end of the line
I'm goin places
I'll take a ride

Up to the Riverside
I'll take NY
I'll let it happen

I'll pop the cork
tear off the wrappin'
I'll make a splash on the Hudson

that's how I will arrive
Hey, do you have two tens for a five?
Roll out the carpet

Strike up the band
break into the best
champagne when I land

Beat the parade drum
hit all the bars
I want the moon and stars

But I'll take NY
I'll make it happen
Blow out the candlels

tear off the wrappin'
And I know someday
they'll have to name a street after me

right next door to old Franklin D
