You say the city has changed well maybe it's true
 Y'say everything moves too fast down the avenue 
 Y'say you just don't get that thrill tea for two 
 Y'say the city has changed well maybe it's you 
 You been east side, west side up and down, all around the town
 Stomped through your old stomping grounds, cracked open your old crown 
 Y'say the sidewalks are made of concrete, 'stead of mountain dew 
 Y'say the city has changed well maybe it's you 
 Small-town boy you always thought you were a big-town man 
 Maybe your orchestra is just a ragtime band
 Y'say the city looks different it's somehow lost its charm 
 Fire engine fly by with its annoying alarm 
 Did the angels ever really look this sad and blue 
 Y'say the city has changed well maybe it's you
