Boy From New York City |
BOY FROM NEW YORK CITY |
MANHATTAN TRANSFER |
By John Taylor & George Davis |
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty |
Tell us about the boy from New York City |
Ooo wah, ooo wah c’mon kitty |
Tell us about the boy from New York City |
He’s kind of tall |
He’s really fine |
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine |
And he’s neat |
And oh so sweet |
And just the way he looked at me |
He swept me off my feet (Yeah) |
Ooo whee, you ought to come and see |
How he walks, humm |
And how he talks |
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty |
Tell us about the boy from New York City |
He’s really down |
And he’s no clown |
He has the finest penthouse I’ve ever seen in town |
And he’s cute |
In his mohair suit |
And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot |
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see |
His dueling scar |
And brand new car (yeah yeah) |
Every time he says he loves me |
Chills run down my spine |
Every time he wants to kiss me |
Oh he makes me feel so fi-i-ine |
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty |
Tell us about the boy from New York City |
Well he can dance |
(He can dance, take a chance with a little ro-) |
And make romance |
(mance baby, cause he’s a looker) |
That’s when I felt in love |
With just one glance |
(He's sweet talking and cool) |
He was shy |
And so was I |
And now I know I’ll never, ever say goodbye |
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see |
He’s the most (yeah yeah) |
From coast to coast (yeah yeah) |
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty |
Tell us about the boy from New York City |
Ooo wah, ooo wah c’mon kitty |
Tell us about the boy from New York City … |
