NEW DORP. NEW YORK.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig & Tamsin Wilson] My girl got a minimum Keep it stuck right there 'til the number comes Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum My girl's got a city to run Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from Never seen the color yellow, never seen the sun (And he thinks I'm the negative one!) [Chorus: Ezra Koenig & Caroline Polachek] Flags flappin' in Manhattan New Dorp, New York Gargoyles gargling oil Peak of the Empire, Top of the Rock Flags flappin' in Manhattan New Dorp, New York Gargoyles gargling oil Peak of the Empire, Top of the Rock [Verse 2: Ezra Koenig] My girl's got a little schtick Keep you cooped up in the kitchen while you feed the kid Keep you waitin' in the winter while the tension ticks My girl got a limousine Got a full-time job just to keep it clean Got a speaker in the trunk, you know it weighs a ton (You think I'm the negative one!) [Chorus: Ezra Koenig] Flags flappin' in Manhattan New Dorp, New York Gargoyles gargling oil Peak of the Empire, Top of the Rock Flags flappin' in Manhattan New Dorp, New York Gargoyles gargling oil Peak of the Empire, Top of the Rock [Interlude: Ezra Koenig] New Dorp, New York New Dorp, New York [Verse 3: Ezra Koenig] Late nights and black Israelites White women singin' under diner lights Baseball bats that never hit home runs Late nights and black Israelites White women singin' under diner lights Baseball bats that never hit home runs I got a baseball bat, never hit home runs My girl got a minimum Leave it stuck right there 'til the number comes Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum My girl's got a city to run Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from Never seen the color yellow, never seen the sun [Interlude: Ezra Koenig] New Dorp, New York New Dorp, New York [Chorus: Ezra Koenig] Flags flappin' in Manhattan New Dorp, New York Gargoyles gargling oil Peak of the Empire, Top of the Rock Flags flappin' in Manhattan New Dorp, New York Gargoyles gargling oil Peak of the Empire, Top of the Rock [Verse 2: Ezra Koenig] My girl's got a little schtick Keep you cooped up in the kitchen while you feed the kid Keep you waitin' in the winter while the tension ticks My girl got a limousine I got a full-time job just to keep it clean Got a speaker in the trunk, you know it weighs a ton [Outro: Ezra Koenig] My girl's got a city to run My girl's got a city to run My girl's got a city to run My girl got a city to run My girl got a city to run
