All the Way to New York City

I wish I could take you with me

All the way to New York City

We could get an apartment there

Be closer to our familiesWe can take my station wagon

And fill it to the brim

And wave goodbye to all our lovely friends

Never to return againYou could write for picture shows

And I could get a job

Waiting tables at a restaurant

Where famous people like to goWe could buy old overcoats

And walk through the snow

All the way around Central Park

Our cheeks as pink as wild rosesWe could take the subway home

And stare at our reflections

In the window panes of the train

And see how much New York has changed us
