1
I was born in
2
New York City on a Monday
3
I was out shining shoes
4
By Tuesday noon
5
All the bad cats in the bad hats
6
Doing me a real big favor
7
Got the bad cats in the bad hats
8
Laying it on real good
9
Here's a dime, boy
10
Gimme a shine, boy
11
When the cold wind comes
12
It lives in New York City
13
And the street's no place to be
14
But there you are
15
So you try hard or you die hard
16
No one really gives a good damn
17
You try hard and you die hard
18
Nobody gives a damn
19
Here's a dime, boy
20
Gimme a shine, boy
21
Down and out in New York City
22
Ain't nowhere to be
23
Where can you do when you're
24
Down and out in New York City
25
Never, never, never
26
Gonna get that way again
27
No, no, no, no, no, not me
28
When you need a friend
29
Need to have a
30
When you want a friend
31
Gonna get myself together
32
In the morning
33
Gonna leave it all
34
I want that dream
35
All the bad cats in the bad hats
36
Doing me a real big favor
37
Got the bad cats in the bad hats
38
Laying it on real good
39
Here's a dime, boy
40
Gimme a shine, boy
41
Gimme a shine, boy
42
Gimme a shine, hey
43
Down and out in New York City
44
Ain't nowhere to be
45
Where can you do when you're
46
Down and out in New York City
47
Said I'm never, never, never
48
Gonna get that way again
49
No, no, no, no, not me
50
When you need a friend
51
Troubled mind
52
When you need a friend
53
Got a troubled mind
54
Ain't nobody gonna
55
Give you one thin dime
56
Friends can be cruel sometimes
57
Can be sweet but what
58
What bugs a man, what hurts a man
59
Is when you give him a drink
60
Just can't get nothing to eat
61
That's New York City
62
That's New York City
63
New York City
64
One-hundred and twenty-five street
65
The bricks, Eight Avenue
