Lightning Strikes (Not Once but Twice) |
| Now lightning strikes in old New York |
| It may be dark but I wanna talk |
| It might rain, it might snow |
| Too many things that I got to know |
| If this is spring then it’s time to sing |
| Never mind the lil' birdies wing |
| Look out, look out, old New York |
| New York’s coming an' New York talks |
| Hey, strike! |
| Not once |
| Strike! |
| But twice |
| Get out your money, peel a slab |
| Roll some notes an' hail a cab |
| Drive in church drive in back |
| Drive down Seventh in a tank |
| Take in the sights, feel the breeze |
| See New York’s one and only tree |
| It can be found in Garbage park |
| But don’t inspect it after dark |
| Strike! |
| New York! |
| Lightning! |
| Not once but twice |
| Accidental hike in the transit strike |
| Roller skate or ride a bike |
| Three to a car, Brooklyn Bridge |
| You won’t get far if you’re privileged |
| Graffiti Jack sprays in black |
| An Englishman, can he read it back? |
| Deli Joe he ought to know |
| He runs the gang on Pastrami Row |
| Strike! |
| Lightning |
| Strike! |
| Because glass to glass, street to street |
| Buildings touch St. Peter’s feet |
| From car to bar, from Prez to Shah |
| Everything is in the jar |
| 4 winds blow 'cause the 4 winds know |
| Takes a special hustle to make a roll |
| Honey girl on her feet |
| I wish everything to make her sweet |
| Strike twice |
| Okay so roll |
| From Harlem, strike one |
| Lightining strike |
| Harlem slum to penthouse block |
| On every door I already knocked |
| There wasn’t anybody that I didn’t leave alone |
| Somebody lying under every stone |
| Everything that a man could need |
| Is in a bag down by my knee |
| That looks good, this ain’t got seeds |
| Cheaper than booze down in the bowery |
| Lightning strike! |
| Old New York! |
| Everything’s light! |
| Strike! |
| Hey ho, such a night |
| I’ll see y’all when the lightning strike |
| A polaroid caught in the act |
| You’re married too and that’s a fact |
| But I won’t peek and I won’t squeak |
| Down by the trucks on Christopher Street |
| It’s Cuban Day, Oi Vey |
| Chinese New Year let’s call it a day |
| lightning strike! |
| Yeah |
| Tootsie! |
| Stike! |
| Lightening! |
| Yeah |
| Hey Chi man that melody is Puerto Rican |
| Hey Chi man is what he’s speaking |
| An' there’s the road down into London Town |
| Where many cars get broken down |
| It’s the Westway from Ladbroke Grove |
| Runs down to Old Hounslow |
| Just thought I’d mention the new extension |
| That run’s down the 59th street intersection |
| Did you hear the news y’all? |
| London Town on the Broadway |
| Strike! |
