1
Standing on the corner
2
Just me and Yoko Ono
3
We was waiting for Jerry to land
4
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
5
Singing, "Have a marijuana if you can"
6
His name was David Peel
7
And we found that he was real
8
He sang, "The Pope smokes dope every day"
9
Up come a policeman shoved us up the street
10
Singing, "Power to the people today!"
11
[Chorus]
12
New York City
13
New York City
14
New York City
15
Que pasa, New York?
16
Que pasa, New York?
17
Well down to Max's Kansas City
18
Got down the nitty gritty
19
With the Elephants Memory Band
20
Laid something down
21
As the news spread around
22
About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band!
23
And we played some funky boogie
24
And laid some tutti frutti
25
Singing, "Long Tall Sally's a man."
26
Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacher
27
Singing, "God's a red herring in drag!"
28
[Chorus: x2]
29
Well we did the Staten Island Ferry
30
Making movies for the telly
31
Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom
32
Tried to shake our image
33
Just a cycling through the Village
34
But found that we had left it back in London
35
Well nobody came to bug us
36
Hustle us or shove us
37
So we decided to make it our home
38
If the Man wants to shove us out
39
We gonna jump and shout
40
The Statue of Liberty said, "Come!"
41
[Chorus: x2]
