1
Now lightning strikes in old New York
2
It may be dark but I want to talk
3
It might rain, it might snow
4
Too many things I got to know
5
If this is spring than it's time to sing
6
Never mind the l'il birdies wing
7
Look out, look out, old New York
8
New York's coming an' New York talks
9
Hey! Strike! Not once
10
Strike! But twice!
11
Get out your money, peel a slab
12
Roll some notes an' hail a cab
13
Drive in church drive in back
14
Drive down Seventh in a tank
15
Take in the sights, feel the breeze
16
See New York's one and only tree
17
It can be found in Garbage park
18
But don't inspect it after dark
19
Strike! New York! Lightning!
20
Not once but twice.
21
Accidental hike in the transit strike
22
Roller skate or ride a bike
23
Three to a car, Brooklyn Bridge
24
You won't get far if you're privileged
25
Graffiti Jack sprays in black
26
An Englishman can he read it back?
27
Deli Joe he ought to know
28
He runs the gang on Pastrami Row
29
Strike! Lightning strike!
30
Because glass to glass, street to street
31
Buildings touch St. Peter's feet
32
From car to bar, prez to shah
33
Everything is in the jar
34
The 4 winds blow 'cause the 4 winds know
35
Takes a special hustle to make a roll
36
Honey girl on her feet
37
I wish everything to make her sweet
38
Strike! Twice! OK so roll!
39
From Harlem! Strike one!
40
Harlem slum to penthouse block
41
On every door I already knocked
42
There wasn't anybody that I didn't leave alone
43
Somebody lying under every stone
44
Everything that a man could need
45
In a bag down by my knee
46
That looks good, this ain't got seeds
47
Cheaper than booze down in the bowery
48
Lightning strike! Old New York!
49
Everythings light! Strike!
50
Hey ho such a night
51
I'll see why yall when the lightning strike
52
A Polaroid caught in the act
53
You're married too and that's a fact
54
But I won't peek and I won't squeek
55
Down by the trucks on Christopher Street
56
It's Cuban Day, Oi Vey
57
Chinese New Year let's call it a day
58
Tootsie! Hey Chi man!
59
That melody is Puerto Rican
60
Hey Chi man is what he's speaking
61
An' there's the road down into London Town
62
Where many cars get broken down
63
It's the Westway from Ladbroke Grove
64
Runs down to Old Hounslow
65
Just thought I'd mention the new extension
66
That run's down the 59th street intersection
67
Did you hear the news why yall?
68
London Town on the Broadway!
