Standing on the corner<br>Just me and yoko ono<br>We was waiting for jerry to land<br>Up come a man with a guitar in his hand<br>Singing, have a marijuana if you can<br>His name was david peel<br>And we found that he was real<br>He sang, the pope smokes dope every day<br>Up come a policeman shoved us up the street<br>Singing, power to the people today!<br><br>New york city...new york city...new york city<br>Que pasa, new york? <br>Que pasa, new york? <br><br>Well down to max's kansas city<br>Got down the nitty gritty<br>With the elephants memory band<br>Laid something down<br>As the news spread around<br>About the plastic ono elephants memory band!<br>And we played some funky boogie<br>And laid some tutti frutti<br>Singing, long tall sally's a man.<br>Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacher<br>Singing, god's a red herring in drag!<br><br>New york city...new york city...new york city<br>Que pasa, new york? <br>Que pasa, new york? <br><br>New york city...new york city...new york city<br>Que pasa, new york? <br>Que pasa, new york? <br><br>Well we did the staten island ferry<br>Making movies for the telly<br>Played the fillmore and apollo for freedom<br>Tried to shake our image<br>Just a cycling through the village<br>But found that we had left it back in london<br>Well nobody came to bug us<br>Hustle us or shove us<br>So we decided to make it our home<br>If the man wants to shove us out<br>We gonna jump and shout<br>The statue of liberty said, come!<br><br>New york city...new york city...new york city<br>Que pasa, new york? <br>Que pasa, new york? <br><br>New york city...back in new york city...new york city<br>Que pasa, new york? <br>Que pasa, new york?
