Big Man On Mulberry Street |
| Why can’t I lay low? |
| Why can’t I say what I mean? |
| Why don’t I stay home |
| And get myself into some boring routine? |
| Why can’t I calm down? |
| Why is it always a fight? |
| I can’t get unwound |
| Why do I throw myself into the night? |
| I’m on the outside |
| I don’t fit into a groove |
| Now, I ain’t a bad guy |
| So tell me what am I trying to prove? |
| Why can’t I cool out? |
| Why don’t I button my lip? |
| Why do I lash out? |
| Why is it I always shoot from the hip? |
| I cruise from Houston to Canal Street, a misfit and a rebel |
| I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand |
| Why is it everytime I go out I always seem to get in trouble? |
| I guess I made an impression on somebody north of Hester and South of Grand |
| And so in my small way |
| I’m a big man on Mulberry Street |
| I don’t mean always |
| Only at night when I’m light on my feet |
| What else have I got |
| That I’d be trying to hide? |
| Maybe a blind spot |
| I haven’t seen from the sensitive side? |
| But you know in my own heart |
| I’m a big man on Mulberry Street |
| I’ve play the whole part |
| I’ll leave a big tip with every receipt |
| I’m so romantic |
| I’m such a passionate man |
| Sometimes I panic |
| What if nobody finds out who I am? |
