New York Town |
Wow, New York City |
I need a cap |
Yo — taxi! |
Thanks a lot, man, for picking me up |
(Taxi Driver:) |
Where are you going, buddy? |
(Rick James:) |
Ohhm, bring me up to 125th street, Lexington Avenue, man |
(Taxi Driver:) |
Nah, no way, I am sorry, man, I ain’t going up there |
(Rick James:) |
What do you mean, you sorry, you can’t take me up there? |
(Taxi Driver:) |
Ah no, get outta my cab, I am not going into Harlem |
(Rick James:) |
What do you mean? |
You can’t leave me in the middle of the street in Manhattan |
Just like that |
Wow, is this a trick? |
Better call me another cab |
Yo — taxi! |
I hope it’s a brother this time |
When I want to get down, I go to New York town |
There I can party all night |
When I walk in the door that’s where you’ve been before |
The freaks are there to give me delight |
The Ladies there are everywhere |
And we party from night time 'till dawn |
Then I get up at 10 and do it all again |
I could never stop getting it on |
People rushing |
Uptown, under the ground |
The subways, to Manhattan in old New York |
(New York town) |
People hurry |
Why should they have to hurry? |
There’s always a party in old New York |
(New York town) |
When I want to get high, up on my jet I’ll fly |
To the city where you never come down |
I walk in Central Park, but never after dark |
'Cause you never know who’s hanging around |
The Puerto Rican girls, their hair is curled |
And the sisters are as fine as can be |
Even the girls are a trick, they say was half as slick |
And it’s the only place where you can be free |
People rushing |
Uptown, under the ground |
The subways, to Manhattan in old New York |
(New York town) |
People hurry |
Why should they have to hurry? |
There’s always a party in old New York |
(New York town) |
People rushing |
Uptown, under the ground |
The subways, to Manhattan in old New York |
(New York town) |
People hurry |
Why should they have to hurry? |
There’s always a party in old New York |
(New York town) |
(Ohh, uhh) |
New York |
Wow: New York |
New York |
New York City, New York |
New York |
Well, New York |
New York |
New York |
Yeah, New York |
New York |
New York City, New York |
Yeah, yeah |
