On the Town Opening

Lyrics

[FIRST WORKMAN] I feel like I'm not out of bed yet Oh! Oh, the sun is warm But my blanket's warmer Sleep, sleep, in your lady's arms [MEN] Sleep in your lady's arms [SECOND WORKMAN, spoken] Ya got the time, bud? [THIRD WORKMAN, spoken] Ten minutes to six [FIRST WORKMAN] All night I've been walking the baby Wah! Oh, his eyes are blue But her eyes are bluer Sleep, sleep in your lady's arms [MEN] Sleep in your lady's arms [SECOND WORKMAN, spoken] What time's it now, bud? [THIRD WORKMAN, spoken] Aw, six o'clock, will ya!? [OZZIE, spoken] Come on, Gabey, hurry up! [CHIP, spoken] Twenty-four hours! [SAILOR, spoken] Hey, watch where you're goin'! You'd think it was your first time in New York! [GABEY, spoken] It is! [GABEY, CHIP, & OZZIE] New York, New York! It's a helluva town! [GABEY] We've got one day here and not another minute To see the famous sights! [OZZIE] Wе'll find the romance and danger waiting in it Bеneath the Broadway lights But we've hair on our chests So what we like the best are the nights [CHIP] Sights! [OZZIE] Lights! [GABEY] Nights! [GABEY, CHIP & OZZIE] New York, New York, a helluva town The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down The people ride in a hole in the groun' New York, New York, it's a helluva town! [OZZIE] Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin Or so the fellas say There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan When you have just one day Gotta pick up a date [CHIP] Maybe seven or eight On your way In just one day! [GABEY, CHIP & OZZIE] New York, New York, a helluva town The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down The people ride in a hole in the groun' New York, New York, it's a helluva town! [MEN] New York, New York, a visitor's place Where no one lives on account of the pace But seven millions are screaming for space New York, New York, a helluva town
