Verse 1: D When i first saw New York city I was green down to the core You could see my red neck glowing For a mile or maybe more A Between the hustlers and the hookers I must have made their day Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd D And sent me on my way Bridge 1: When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged It ain't no place to be So i came to one conclusion A New York ain't for me Chorus: D From sea to shining sea And coast to coast Somewhere in the middle Is the land i love the most A I ain't California pretty I can't survive the Great White Way I'm too dumb for New York city D And too ugly for L.A. Verse 2: I made my way to Tinseltown To Hollywood and Vine Out among those pretty faces I'd surely find a place for mine A The way i walk-the way i talk They'll hang on every word But don't call me,i'll call you D Was all i ever heard Bridge 2: In L.A. what they're thinking Ain't what they talk about At least in New York city A There's never any doubt Chorus. A I'm too dumb for New York city D And too ugly for L.A. Perret Charles-Amir : perret@diva.univ-mlv.fr www.TAB6.com
