Tom Waits — Ill Take New York

[Verse 1] I'll tip the newsboy I'll get a shine I'll ride that dream To the end of the line I'm going to be going places I'll get a ride Take me to the Riverside [Verse 2] I'm gonna take you, New York I'll make it happen I'm on the Garbos I'm drinking Manhattans I'll take a splash on the big town That's how I will arrive Have you got two tens for a five? [Verse 3] You've got to roll out the carpet Strike up the band Break out the best champagne when I land You've got to beat the parade drum Hit all the bars I want the moon and stars [Verse 4] I'm gonna take you, New York I'll make it all happen I'm on the Garbos I'm drinking Manhattans And I know someday They're gonna name a street after me Right next door to old Franklin D [Outro] I'm gonna take you, Big Town Come on, New York Come on, move over, Big Town I'll take New York Come on, Big Town Come on, get happy New York Come on
