JOHN LENNON - NEW YORK CITY
John Lennon
From SOMETIME IN NEW YORK CITY album. Released on 1972.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standing on the corner
Just me and Yoko Ono
We was waiting for jerry to land
Up come a man with the guitar in his hand
Singing "have a marijuana if you can"
His name was Davis Peel
And we found that he was real
He sang "The pope smokes dope everyday"
Up come a police man shoved us up the street
Singin', "Power To The People Today!"
New York City
New York City
New York City
Que pasa New York?
Que pasa New York?
Hey, hey
Well we went to Max's Kansas City
Got down the nitty gritty
With the Elephants Memory Band
Laid something down
As the news spread around
About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band!
Well we played some funky boogie
And laid some tutti frutti
Singing "Long tall sally's a man"
Up come a preachman trying to be a teacher
Singing "God's a red herring in grag!"
New York City
New York City
New York City
Que pasa New York?
Que pasa New York?
Ah, ha
(GUITAR SOLO)
Hey, New York City
Alright, New York City
New York City
Que pasa New York?
Que pasa New York?
Well we did the Staten Island Ferry
Making movies for the telly
Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom
Tried to shake our image
Just a cycling through the village
But found that we had left it back in London
Well nobody came to bug us,
Hustle us or shove us
So we decided to make it our home
If the man wants to shove us out
We gonna jump and shout
The Statue of Liberty said "come!"
New York City
New York City
New York City
Que pasa New York?
Que pasa New York?
Hey, hey
(PIANO SOLO)
New York City
Back in New York City
Hey, New York City
Que pasa New York?
Que pasa New York?
New York City
Down in the village
What a bad-ass city!
Que pasa New York?
Que pasa New York?
Hey, rock on
Oh, city
Yeah
Que pasa New York?
Que pasa New York?
