It ain't nothin' but a concrete jungle with people packed like sardines Where everybody's tryin' to live beyond their means Where all the natives hurry and scurry too and fro And like a fleas on a puppy dog they got no place to go I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town Talk about a bummer it's the biggest one around Sodom and Gomorrah was tame to what I found I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town Well I ain't seen the sunshine since the day that I arrived Cause brother I've been busy a-tryin' to survive Nobody knows you've been here till you're six feet under ground Than you become a statistic if they remember to write you down I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town Talk about a bummer it's the biggest one around Sodom and Gomorrah was tame to what I found I wouldn't live in New York City if they gave me the whole dang town
