Album Cover I'll Take New York

I'll Take New York

Tom Waits

4

I'll tip the newsboy

I'll get a shine

I'll ride this dream

to the end of the line

I'm goin places

I'll takea ride

Up to the Riverside

I'll take NY

I'll let it happen

I'll pop the cork

tear off the wrappin'

I'll make a splash on the Hudson

that's how I will arrive

Hey, do you have two tens for a five?

Roll out the carpet

Strike up the band

break into the best

champagne when I land

Beat the parade drum

hit all the bars

I want the moon and stars

But I'll take NY

I'll make it happen

Blow out the candlels

tear off the wrappin'

And I know someday

they'll have to name a street after me

right next door to old Franklin D
