An Englishman In New York |
| Demented New York athletes staggering 'round the block |
| Deforned Chicanos pour in Chicago’s rolling stock |
| Digital bathrooms drilling for furs |
| Surgical stockings marked his and hers |
| Guggenheim attitudes back to back |
| With Jewish Baroque |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| Happy to see you, have a nice day! |
| Defecting Russian dancers dance into Hockney prints |
| Exclusive to Bloomingdale’s, gift-wrapped in red |
| From the land of blue rinse |
| They boggle at menus in Olde English verse |
| «Ode to a Burger» by Keats at his worst |
| The hissing of omelets, the breaking of legs |
| Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eggs |
| The pink fillet mignon looks black on the negs |
| Strange apparatus |
| You’ve never seen |
| Strange apparatus, even stranger theme |
| Street alligators |
| Big Anglophile |
| Will navigate us through a change of style |
| I came, I saw |
| What manner of beast is this? |
| New York, you talk a little bit left of center |
| A scream, a shout |
| New York is throwing its weight about |
| Walk tall, walk straight |
| Spit the world right in the eye |
| The stronger the wood the straighter the arrow |
| Dismembered hopeful My Lai veterans queuing for sleaze |
| «Sorry, no dogs, no fags, no Shriners, and no amputees» |
| Sexual athlete applies for audition |
| Willing to make it in any position |
| Just one of the extras with blood on their faces |
| In «Snow White and the Seven Basket Cases» |
| I’m happy and dopey and dirty in places |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| Lock up your daughters (Avon crawling!) |
| Devoted collectors of paraphernalia out walking the rock |
| Battle and bitch for the ultimate kitsch |
| Of a crucifix clock |
| Two miniature Romans, running on rails |
| Appear every hour and bang in the nails |
| I’ve got to have it, Christ, I gotta be the first |
| On our block |
| Disturbing facts about Nazi splinter groups seen on the news |
| They’re picketing synagogues and claiming that |
| Hitler was King of the Jews |
| Caught in the tunnel an ambulance howls |
| A men’s room attendant is flapping his jowls |
| (Shh, Howard Johnson is moving his bowels) |
| Strange apparatus |
| You’ve never seen |
| Strange apparatus, even stranger theme |
| Street alligators |
| Big Anglophile |
| Will navigate us through a change of style |
| Strange apparatus |
| You’ve never seen |
| Strange apparatus, even stranger theme |
| Walk tall, walk straight |
| Spit the world right in the eye |
| The stronger the wood the straighter the arrow |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
| No way street |
