My Town Lyrics
My Town
My town that's Manhattan.Up, down, stone and satin.Noise, boys, all of its clever campaign.Be proud, Times Square, how I love it. Fresh air, I die of it.
Born in PA, still I'm happy to say, this is my home town.Rush, traffic screaming, red, blush, bright lights gleaming, clouds, crowds.Nothing about it can get me down.Trees, I don't need them, birds, bees, you can't beat them.Skies may be gray now and then on Broadway.And beside every smile there's a frown.Still it's my home town.
