Here comes the sunrise, the start of another day--
You're in the city, and in the city you must stay.
`Cause you know the city, don't you know
The city never goes away.
I drink my coffee, and I breath my share of the fumes--
No time for the children, no time to eat what I consume.
`Cause you know the city, don't you know
The City never gives you room.
Lay your money on the red, white and blue, now
When she's covered you can't lose a dime.
In the city hey, it's all up to you now--
Take your chances you can roll the dice--
Pay the price--
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
That's life in the city... etc.
RETURN TO "A SONG
OF THE TIMES"
