Lyrical Response

[Bill from NYC]

Every time I think that I'm
The only one who's lonely someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend
My time at rhyme and verse and curse those faults in me

 

And then along comes Mary
Mary, Mary
Then along comes Mary
Mary, Mary

[Figster]

and then along came jones
tall thin jones
slow-walking' jones
slow-talking' jones
along came long, lean, lanky jones

[muppy]

Shalalala la la la
Uh huh

I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful

[DrW]

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

 

So, take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

[muppy]

I wanna wake up in that city, that doesn't sleep
And find your king of the hill, top of the heap
Your small town blues, they're melting away
I'm gonna make a brand-new start of it, in old New York

[PastaJoe]

Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

[muppy]

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere

 

Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

 

[PastaJoe]

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

[DD4Bills]

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or?
