rate me<br>
OZZIE:<br>
Come on, Gabey, hurry up!<br>
<br>
CHIP:<br>
Twenty-four hours!<br>
<br>
SAILOR:<br>
Hey, why don't ya look where you're goin'.<br>
You'd think it was your first time in New York!<br>
<br>
GABEY:<br>
It is!<br>
<br>
(The sailors look around them, happily absorbing the scene.)<br>
<br>
GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE:<br>
New York, New York!<br>
It's a helluva town!<br>
<br>
GABEY:<br>
We've got one day here and not another minute<br>
To see the famous sights!<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it<br>
Beneath the Broadway lights;<br>
But we've hair on our chests<br>
So what we like the best are the nights<br>
Sights! Lights! Nights! <br>
<br>
GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE:<br>
New York, New York, a helluva town.<br>
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.<br>
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.<br>
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!<br>
<br>
CHIP:<br>
(points to Empire State Building)<br>
Hey, Gabey! Gabey, look.<br>
<br>
(consulting his guidebook with reverence and excitement)<br>
<br>
Gabey, it says here "There are 20,000 streets in New York, <br>
not counting MacDougal Alley the heart of Green-Witch Village,<br>
a charming thoroughfare filled with..."<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
Here we go again!<br>
<br>
CHIP:<br>
The famous places to visit are so many,<br>
Or so the guidebooks say.<br>
I promised Daddy I wouldn't miss on any.<br>
And we have just one day.<br>
Got to see the whole town<br>
From Yonkers on down to the Bay.<br>
<br>
GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE:<br>
In just one day!<br>
<br>
New York, New York, a visitor's place,<br>
Where no one lives on account of the pace,<br>
But seven millions are screaming for space.<br>
New York, New York, it's a visitor's place!<br>
<br>
(Two sailors enter, weaving and weary-looking - <br>
one happy, one very glum.)<br>
<br>
GABEY:<br>
Hey! Look who's comin' back! It's Tom and Andy!<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
Hey, Tom, Andy! Hey, fellas, how are the New York dames?<br>
<br>
ANDY:<br>
Wonderful - I don't remember a thing!<br>
<br>
TOM:<br>
Awful! I remember everything!<br>
<br>
(Tom and Andy exit.)<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
<br>
Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin,<br>
Or so the fellas say;<br>
There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan,<br>
When you have just one day;<br>
Gotta pick up a date...<br>
<br>
CHIP:<br>
Maybe seven...<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
Or eight<br>
On your way.<br>
<br>
GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE:<br>
In just one day!<br>
<br>
New York, New York, a helluva town.<br>
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.<br>
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.<br>
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!!<br>
<br>
