1
If you've ever been to New York City,
2
You know what I'm talking about,
3
Yes you do.
4
Well, if you've ever been to New York City,
5
You know what I'm talking about,
6
They got such pretty little girls in that big town,
7
Make a man want to jump around and shout.
8
I met a little girl there,
9
She was about five foot eight.
10
I said "I want you to love me."
11
She said "Why man, that'd be great."
12
So,
13
I got long hair but,
14
She took me back,
15
Back to see her pad,
16
But the first thing I saw when I arrived there,
17
Was a big black shiny shotgun,
18
In the hands of her dad.
19
Alright now, this is how it was,
20
Oh no!
21
Well alright!
22
I finally learned my lesson,
23
Such a long time ago,
24
Next little woman that I date,
25
I've got to know, I've got to know her family too.
26
Yes indeed, I gotta know her family too.
27
But if you don't want to be filled full of shotgun holes,
28
Mister, this song is just for you.
