This Is The Place Lyrics by Buchan & Barne

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

2024

[Robin]
This is the place
This is the preschool where we used to go
These are the streets
These are the dollar vans and delis that I used to know
This is the church
Where everyone knew me by name
This is the place
Where nothing changes and where nothing is ever the same
[Robin, spoken]
Wanna take a detour?
[Dougal, spoken]
What about the cake?
[Robin, spoken]
Wе've got time
[Robin]
This is the street
[Dougal, spoken]
What street?
[Robin]
This is thе block where you can pick up whatever you need
Ten dollar shoes, fake nails, a broken record player, Cuban quesadillas and weed
I used to ride my bike around this neighbourhood
I never thought I'd run out of space
And the cats in the bodegas
The kids on every corner playing pickup
And graffiti on the subway baby
This is the place
[Dougal]
Wait, I know this place
This is the street from the beginning of Ghostbusters 2
[Robin, spoken]
I don't know maybe
[Dougal, spoken]
This is scene we see Sigourney Weaver
Step in psychomagnotherical goo
Are you serious?
[Robin & Dougal]
Right over there, that's Brooklyn public library
My grandma used to take us to read
And the sounds along the avenue (The lights in every window)
If you're look for the beating heart of Brooklyn baby
This is the place
[Dougal & Robin, spoken]
And you actually lived here?
For 20 years
And this still counts as real New York?
This is Brooklyn man, this is the only part that's real
[Robin]
This is the place
Where you can come and watch the city on Saturday nights
This is the place
That pizzeria makes the greatest white slice in south Crown Heights
Hundreds of cabs fly by into Manhattan
Hundreds of trains roll down to Coney Island
Thousands of planes fly out and never know
Whatever happiness they're trying to chase
This is the place
This is the street
