Now lightning strikes in old
New
York
It may be dark, but I want to talk
Am I rain?
Am I snow?
There's too many thing
s I've got to know
If it's spring, then it's time to sing
Never mind the little birdies' wing
Look out, look out, old
New
York
New
York's coming and
New
York talks!
Strike!
Not once!
Strike!
But twice!
Get out your money and peel a slab
Roll some notes and hail a cab
Driving to church, driving back
Drive down 7th in a tank
Take in the sights, feel the breeze
See
New
York's one and only treat
Can't be bound from
Garbage
Park
But don't expect it after
Dark!
Strike!
New
York!
Lightning!
Not once, not twice!
X and I'll hike in the transit strike
Roll a skate or ride a bike
Three to a car,
Brooklyn
Bridge
You won't get far if
you're privileged
Feedy chap sprays him black
An
Englishman, can he read it back?
Deli
Joe, he oughta know
He runs a gang on
Bustrami
Road
Strike!
Lightning!
Strike!
Because
Blast!
Blast!
Street to street,
building stunts ain't beatin' speed
We've got a ball, the rest is char,
everything is in the jar
The four winds blow, cause the four winds go,
it takes a special hustle to make a roll
I need a girl, on her feet,
I wish everything to make her sweet
Sweet!
Lightning strikes, not once, but twice
Okay, so roll!
Harlem
Slum's a penthouse block
And every door I already knocked
There wasn't anybody that I
didn't leave alone
Someone lying under every stove
Everything that a man could need
Is in a bag down by my knee
That looks good, this ain't cat's seed
It's cheaper than the booze
down in the
Lightning strikes, all
New
York, everything's mine, strike,
strike!
Anyhow, such a night,
I'll see you all when the lightning strikes
A
Polaroid, caught in the act,
you may retoot, and that's a fact
But I won't pee, and I won't squeak
Down on the tracks of the
Christopher
Street
Stupid day,
Oy vey
Channies
New
Year, let's call it a day
That melody is
Puerto
Rican
H .E.
Man is what he's speakin'
There's a road down in
London town
Many cars get broken down
It's the
Westway, flagpole broken
Runs down to
Old
Hounslow
Just thought I'd mention
the new extension
Runs from the 59th
Street intersection
And did you hear of the news y 'all?
It's
London
Town on the
Broadway!
