Bajour: Move Over, New York

Lyrics

[JOHNNY] Hey New York Long time no see! Ten years we been on the road My tribe and me! Pickin' pockets in Pittsburgh Readin' palms in Duluth Stealin' hubcaps in Detroit Swindlin' suckers in Butte Drivin' fast, livin' gypsy Shifty car, shifty deal! Makin' time in Poughkeepsie Doin' time in Mobile Hey New York Let police sirens ring A welcome back to cockeye Johnny Dembo The King! [ALL] We been movin', movin', movin' But we're back from where we been So move over, move over New York, Nеw York! The Gipsies are movin' in! You'rе a rich and booming big town Where the actions fresh and new So move over, move over New York, New York! The Gispsies are movin' you! Now the statue out in your harbor Says: "Give me your tired and poor!" And an invitation wrote like that Means us, for lead-pipe sure! We brought the palm chart And the dream books And the tea leaves for the cup So move over, move over New York, New York! The Gispsies... are movin' up! [JOHNNY] Since a gypsy's known for stealin' Now's the time we should begin [ALL] So move over, move over New York, New York! We're startin' by stealing in [JOHNNY] Oh, they stole you from the Injuns For some trinkets in a sack! [ALL] So move over, move over New York, New York! We're going to steal you back! [JOHNNY] Law and order is sweeping the country It's loused up the atmosphere But we heard that ill-begotten gains Can still be gotten here! [ALL] So if you keep away your coppers From our Gipsy empty store We'll move over, move over New York, New York! Till we find what we're looking for: A chance to make a bundle And rack up a big-time score A change to pull the swindle... We call — The Big Bajour! Ha!
