Stopped off at Bleeker Bob's got thrown out
Sneakin' in at 4:00 am after going out
From the South South Bronx on out to Queens Bridge
From Hollis Queens right down to Bay Ridge
From Castle Hill to the Lower East Side
From 1010 WINS to Live At Five
Dear New York this is a love letter
To you and how you brought us together
We can't say enough about all you do
'Cause in the city were ourselves and electric too
we're still livin' And lovin' life we've been given
Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us
Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust
Dear New York I know a lot has changed 2 towers down
but you're still in the game Home to many rejecting know one
Accepting peoples of all places,
wherever they're from Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin Black, White
New York you make it happen
