Lyrics
1. Took a flight one night and a cab into the city
I was hangin' with the King in a yellow submarine
City lights, shinnin' bright, like a diamond in the night
What a sight to see, lady Liberty lookin' back at me
over the river, down Wall Street where the people meet
with all those bulls and bears
2. Look at the Yankees and the Mets
just up the street from the street from the Jets
placin' bets on the Knicks down at Madison Square
The feelin' of magic is always there,
the sound of music is in the air
Remember when the Beatles were there
and all that screamin' at Times Square
It was all in a New York City Dream
Chorus : New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
3. Look at those big skyscrapers, giant
I wanta makem' my scrapers of the big bucks
If the king has good luck amongst the stars
in the cars up 5th avenue
Such a long way from the subway to the Village where we play
on another day, all in a New York City Dream,
All in a New York City Dream
Chorus: New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
~Beak~solo~
4. We're gonna havem' dancin' from the Paladium
all the way to Yankee Stadium, from uptown to downtown
to China Town Into Little Italy, catch a stretch limosine
out of Queens and over The Brooklyn Bridge,
can ya see all the city lights
shinin' bright like a diamond in the night?
It was all in a New York City Dream
Chorus:
New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
New York City Dreams
New York shines like diamonds, like diamonds
