That's No Joke Songtext

von Blossom Dearie

Now when you're out, out on the town running around
You see a million things you've never seen before

Just grab a train, any old train, under the ground
Yes, you're in my hometown and now you know the score

When you see Broadway on Sunday, your heart will jump for joy
And Coney is a play toy for every girl and boy

Now tell the world where you have been, what you have seen
You know just what I mean what else is there to say

Well, I've seen Hollywood and Chicago too, and Pittsburgh with all the smoke
And brother I'll take New York and that's no joke

Now when you're out, out on the town running around
You see a million things you've never seen before

Just grab a train, any old train, under the ground
Yes, you're in my hometown and now you know the score

When you see Broadway on Sunday, your heart will jump for joy
And Coney is a play toy for every girl and boy

Now tell the world what you have seen, where you have been
You know just what I mean what else is there to say

Well, I've seen Hollywood and Chicago too, and Pittsburgh with all the smoke
And brother I'll take New York and that's no joke

And that's no joke
And that's no joke

New York, New York,

It's a heart of town
