Not for the Life of Me / NYC / Astonishing |
| I studied all the pictures in magazines and books |
| I memorized the subway map too |
| It’s one block north to Macy’s and two to Brothers Brooks |
| Manhattan, I prepared for you |
| You certainly are different from what they have back home |
| Where nothing’s over three stories high |
| And no one’s in a hurry or wants to roam |
| But I do, though they wonder why… |
| NYC |
| Just got here this morning |
| Three bucks |
| Two bags |
| One me |
| NYC |
| I give you fair warning |
| Up there |
| In lights |
| I’ll be |
| Go ask the Gershwins or Kaufman and Hart |
| The place they love the best |
| Though California pays big for their art |
| Their fan mail’s still addressed to NYC |
| Tomorrow a penthouse |
| That’s way up high |
| Tonight |
| The «Y» |
| Why not? |
| It’s NYC |
| Too hot |
| Too cold |
| Too late |
| I’m sold |
| Why not… |
| Here I go |
| And there’s no turning back |
| My great adventure has begun |
| I may be small |
| But I’ve got giant plans |
| To shine as brightly as the sun |
| I will blaze until I find my time and place |
| I will be fearless, surrendering modesty and grace |
| I will not disappear without a trace |
| I’ll shout and start a riot |
| Be anything but quiet |
| Christopher Columbus, I’ll be astonishing |
| Astonishing |
| Astonishing |
| At last |
