N.Y.C. Lyrics by Annie - The New 2012 Broadway Ensemble

Annie (The New 2012 Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[WARBUCKS]
Annie, there’s no air like the air of New York
And you don’t realize how much you miss it
The whole damn city
Until you’ve been away from it for a while
Like the man says, “after New York, every new place is... Bridgeport”
(singing)
N.Y.C
What is it about you
You're big
You're loud
You're tough
N.Y.C
I go years without you
Then I
Can't get
Enough
Enough of cab drivers answering back
In language far from pure
Enough of frankfurters answering back
Brother, you know you’re in
N.Y.C
Too busy, too crazy
Too hot, too cold
Too late, I'm sold
Again
On N.Y.C
(spoken)
C’mon you slow pokes
We gotta get to the Roxie
[GRACE AND WARBUCKS]
N.Y.C
[GRACE]
The shadows at sundown
The roofs
That scrape
The sky
[ALL]
N.Y.C
The rich and the rundown
[WARBUCKS AND GRACE]
The big parade
Goes by
[WARBUCKS]
What other town has the Empire State
And a mayor five-foot-two
No other town in
The whole forty-eight
Can half compare
To you
Oh
[ALL]
N.Y.C
[WARBUCKS]
You make 'em all postcards
[WARBUCKS & GRACE]
You crowd
You cramp
You're still
The champ
Amen
For N.Y.C
[ALL]
The shimmer of Time Square
The pulse
The beat (Hey!)
The drive
[WARBUCKS]
You might say that I'm square
But damn, I come alive
[GRACE]
The city’s bright as a penny arcade
[BOTH]
It blinks
It tilts
It rings
[ANNIE]
To think that I've lived here all of my life
And never seen these things
[ALL]
Oh, N.Y.C
The whole world keeps coming
By bus
By train
You can't
Explain
Their yen
For
[STAR-TO-BE]
N.Y.C
Just got here this morning
Three bucks
Two bags
One me
N.Y.C
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 comes addressed
To NYC
Tomorrow a penthouse
That's way up high
Tonight
The "Y"
Why not?
It's NYC
[ALL]
NYC
You're standing room only
You crowd
You cramp
You're still
The champ
Amen
For N.Y.C
[WARBUCKS]
Give in
Don’t fight
Good girl
Goodnight
Sleep tight
In N.Y.C
