I happen to like New York, I happen to like this town. |
| [00:54.47] |
I like the city air, I like to drink of it, |
| [00:59.37] |
The more I know New York the more I think of it. |
| [01:03.73] |
I like the sight and the sound and even the stink of it. |

I happen to like New York. |

Last Sunday afternoon I took a trip to Hackensack, |
| [01:54.62] |

I took the next train back. |
| [02:06.69] |
I happen to like New York. I happen to love this burg. |
| [02:15.56] |
And when I have to give the world a last farewell, |
| [02:20.43] |
And the undertaker starts to ring my funeral bell, |
| [02:24.98] |
I don't want to go to heaven, don't want to go to hell. |
| [02:29.63] |
I happen to like New York. |
| [02:35.61] |
|
| [02:36.61] |
I happen to like New York. |
