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 |
