Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- London says it’s best, thinks it beats the rest
Paris too is boasting with pride, ever since Joan of Arc died
Venice, land of dreams, prideful too it seems
All these cities proud can be
But New York is the place for me
Chorus
Dear old New York, good old New York
You are a wonder, let others talk
What can compare with your beauty so rare
All time is joy time oh that I must declare
Believe me Broadway at night sure is some sight
Oh street of much renown, and on the East Side, West Side
All around the town, all is gay every day, dear old New York
- Every town I know, loves to boast and crow
Of it’s nearness to Paradise, which may all be very nice
But I must contend to the very end
Your hometown’s great I’ll agree
But New York is the place for me
