Warbucks:
N.Y.C
What is it about you?
You're big,
You're loud,
You're tough.
N.Y.C
I go years without you,
Then I,
Can't get,
Enough.
Enough of the cab drivers answering back,
In the language far from pure.
Enough of frankfurters answering back,
Brother, you know you're...
In N.Y.C
Too busy, too crazy!
Too hot!
Too cold!
Too late!
I'm sold!
Again,
On N.Y.C.
(spoken) Come on you slowpokes, we gotta get to the Roxy before the prices change.
All: N.Y.C
Grace: The shadows at sundown,
The roofs,
That scrape,
The sky!
All: N.Y.C
Warbucks and Grace: The rich and the rundown,
The big parade
Goes by.
Warbucks: No other town has the Empire State,
And a mayor five foot two!
No other town in
The whole forty eight
Can half compare
To you.
All: Oh N.Y.C!
Warbucks: You make 'em all postcards.
Warbucks and Grace: You crowd,
You cramp,
You're still,
The champ!
Amen For N.Y.C!
All: The shimmer of Times Square,
The pulse,
The beat,
The drive!
Warbucks: You might say that I'm square,
But Damn!
I come,
Alive!
Warbucks and Grace: The city's bright
As a penny arcade
It blinks, it tilts, it rings
Annie: To think that I've lived here all of my life
And never seen these things
All: Oh, N.Y.C.
The whole world keeps coming
By bus,
By train,
You can't
Explain
Their yen
For...
Star to Be: N.Y.C.
Just got here this morning
Three bucks,
Two bags,
One me!
N.Y.C.
I give you fair warning,
Up there
In lights
I'll be!
Go ask the Gershwins or Kauffman and Hart
The place they love the best,
Though California pays big for their art
Their fan mail comes addressed...
To N.Y.C.!
Tomorrow a penthouse
That's way up high!
Tonight
The "Y"!
Why not?
It's N.Y.C.!
All: N.Y.C.
You're standing room only
You crowd
You cramp
You're still
The champ
Amen For N.Y.C.!
Man: (spoken) Keep it quiet down there!
All: (quietly) N.Y.C.
Usherette: (spoken) Immediate seating...there is immediate seating.
Warbucks: (spoken) Popcorn, what do you say to some popcorn? I haven't had popcorn since... (Annie yawns)
(singing)
Give in,
Don't fight,
Good girl,
Good night,
Sleep tight,
In N.Y.C.
