Tom Waits I'll Take New York song lyrics

I'll tip the newsboy

I'll get a shine

I'll ride that dream to the end of the line

I'm gonna be goin' places

I'll get a ride

Take me to the Riverside

I'm gonna take you New York

I'll make it happen

I'm on the caboose

I'm drinking Manhattans

I'll take a splash on the big town

That's how I will arrive

Have you got two tens for a five?

You've gotta roll out the carpet

Strike up the band

Break out the best champagne when I land

You gotta beat the parade drum

Hit all the bars

I want the moon and the stars

I'm gonna take you New York

I'll make it happen

I'm on the caboose

I'm drinking Manhattans

And I know someday they are going to name a

street after me right next door to old Franklin D

I'm gonna take you big town

Come on New York, come on move over big town

I take New York, come on big town

Come on get happy New York

Come on…
