Franks Wild Years

I'll Take New York

I'll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I'll ride that dream
to the end of the line
I'm goin' places
I'll take a ride
Up to the Riverside
I'll take New York
I'll let it happen
I'll pop the cork
tear off the wrappin'
I'll make a splash on the Hudson
that's how I will arrive
Hey, do you have two tens for a five?
Roll out the carpet
Strike up the band
break into the best
champagne when I land
Beat the Parade drum
hit all the bars
I want the moon and stars
But I'll take NY
I'll make it all happen
Blow out the candles
tear off the wrappin'
And I know someday
they'll have to name a street after me
Right next door to old Franklin D
