New York Lyrics by Buchan & Barne

Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) [Original London Cast Recording]

2024

[Dougal]
It’s the capital city of the USA
[Robin]
It’s not
[Dougal]
The city I swore I would see for myself one day
[Robin]
But you’ve actually been to New York before?
[Dougal]
Yes! Uh, no, but I’ve seen Home Alone 2 quite a few times
[Robin]
Are you serious?
[Dougal]
There’s pizza for breakfast
There’s steam in the air
It’s candy, not sweets, and the streets are called sidewalks there
[Robin]
Right
[Dougal]
My town where everyone has an apartment to spare with a skyline view
And even improbable dreams come true
Where everything comes with a smile, a high-five, and a side of cheese
I’m down on my knees
[Robin]
That’s our train!
[Dougal]
New York
I’m already talkin’ the talk
New York
I’m already poppin’ the cork
'Cause I’m ready
I’m ready to be in New York
Are they ready?
Are they ready for me in New York?
Is that Times Square?
[Robin]
Nope, that’s Queens
[Dougal]
Awesome!
She’s called the Big Apple
And no one knows why
But she’s my kind of town and I’m her kind of street smart guy
I’ll stroll up the Broadway
I’ll order a beer
I’ll scream at the Statue of Liberty
"Hey, lady, I’m walkin’ here!"
My home, the city of stories where everything’s seventy stories high
Where everyone kisses their blues goodbye
The cinema city I’ve waited the whole of my life to see
"Are you talkin’ to me?"
Is that what I think it is?
[Robin]
What do you think it is?
[Dougal]
New York
I’m already talkin’ the talk in
New York
I’m already poppin’ the cork
'Cause I’m ready
I’m ready to be in New York
Are they ready?
Are you ready for me in New York?
[Robin]
OK, I’m just gonna… yeah
[Dougal]
It’s a city of angels
It’s a city of sin
It’s a city of immigrants, buddy, I’ll fit right in
The land of the brave
The home of the free
The Liberty City, where even my father wants to hang out with me
Home, there’s snow in the city tomorrow, just see it come twinkling down
And that’s why they all call it Tinseltown
There’s hundreds of thousands of people just living the dream out there
And there’s love in the air
[Robin]
Okay, we’re about to leave the train, and then we’re gonna be in New York
[Dougal]
Yes
[Robin]
You’re not gonna freak out?
[Dougal]
No!
New York
I’m already talkin’ the talk in
New York
I’m already poppin’ the cork
'Cause I’m ready
I’m ready to be in New York
Yes, I’m ready
Are they ready for me in New York?
For two whole days
I’ll literally be in New York
NYC, JFK, FBI, CIA
See, I’m already talkin’ the talk
And I’m ready
I’m ready to be in New York
Yes I’m ready
Are you ready for me?
Are you ready for me?
Are you ready for me?
In New York
