They paint a city of pink sunsets and bland cliches.

And though they dance up a storm, all we get is a haze.

But if it’s laughs you’re looking for,

Still what a dull “New York, New York.”

But “New York’s” sugary plot can’t be good for their teeth.

They need a brand new start with it, this meh “New York”!

You wait for way too long

To hear that timeless song.

You’re glad it’s through, “New York … New York”!
