Move Over, New York Lyrics
Move Over, New York
[JOHNNY]Hey New York
Long time no see!
Ten years we been on the road
My tribe and me!
Pickin' pockets in Pittsburgh
Readin' palms in Duluth
Stealin' hubcaps in Detroit
Swindlin' suckers in Butte
Drivin' fast, livin' gypsy
Shifty car,?shifty?deal!
Makin'?time in Poughkeepsie
Doin'?time in Mobile
Hey?New York
Let police sirens ring
A welcome back to cockeye Johnny Dembo
The King!
[ALL]
We been movin', movin', movin'
But we're back from where we been
So move over, move over
New York, N?w York!
The Gipsies are movin' in!
You'r? a rich and booming big town
Where the actions fresh and new
So move over, move over
New York, New York!
The Gispsies are movin' you!
Now the statue out in your harbor
Says: "Give me your tired and poor!"
And an invitation wrote like that
Means us, for lead-pipe sure!
We brought the palm chart
And the dream books
And the tea leaves for the cup
So move over, move over
New York, New York!
The Gispsies... are movin' up!
[JOHNNY]
Since a gypsy's known for stealin'
Now's the time we should begin
[ALL]
So move over, move over
New York, New York!
We're startin' by stealing in
[JOHNNY]
Oh, they stole you from the Injuns
For some trinkets in a sack!
[ALL]
So move over, move over
New York, New York!
We're going to steal you back!
[JOHNNY]
Law and order is sweeping the country
It's loused up the atmosphere
But we heard that ill-begotten gains
Can still be gotten here!
[ALL]
So if you keep away your coppers
From our Gipsy empty store
We'll move over, move over
New York, New York!
Till we find what we're looking for:
A chance to make a bundle
And rack up a big-time score
A change to pull the swindle...
We call — The Big Bajour!
Ha!
