The U.S. vs. John Lennon movie - NEW YORK CITY lyrics

rate me

<br>

Standing on the corner<br>

Just me and yoko ono<br>

We was waiting for jerry to land<br>

Up come a man with the guitar<br>

in his hand<br>

Singing "have a marijuana if you can"<br>

His name was Davis Peel<br>

And we found that he was real<br>

He sangs"The pope smokes<br>

dope everyday"<br>

Up come a police man shoved<br>

us up the street<br>

Singin, "power to the<br>

people today!"<br>

<br>

NYC...NYC...NYC<br>

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?<br>

<br>

Well we went to max's<br>

Kansas City<br>

Got down the nitty gritty<br>

With the Elephants Memory<br>

Band<br>

Laid something down<br>

As the news spread around<br>

About the Plastic Ono<br>

Elephants Memory Band!<br>

Well we played some funky<br>

boogie<br>

And laid some tutti frutti<br>

Singing "Long tall sally's<br>

a man"<br>

Up come a preachman trying to be a teacher<br>

Singing "God's a red herring in grag!"<br>

<br>

NYC...NYC...NYC<br>

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?<br>

Well we did the Staten<br>

Island Ferry<br>

Making movies for the telly<br>

Played the fillmore and<br>

Apollo for freedom,<br>

Tried to shake our image<br>

Just a cycling through<br>

the village<br>

But found that we had left it<br>

back in london.<br>

Well nobody came to bug us,<br>

hustle ud or shove us<br>

so we decided to make it<br>

our home<br>

If the man wants to shove<br>

us out<br>

We gonna jump and shout<br>

The Statue of Liberty said,<br>

"come!"<br>

<br>

NYC...NYC...NYC<br>

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?<br>

<br>

NYC down in the village<br>

What a bad-ass city!<br>

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?<br>

<br>
