Lightning Strikes Lyrics:Now lightning strikes in old
New york
It may be dark but I wanna talk
It might rain, it might snow
Too many things I got to know
If this is spring than its time to sing
Never mind the lil birdies wing
Look out, look out, old new york
New yorks coming an new york talks
Hey! strike! not once...
Strike! but twice!
Get out your money - peel a slab
Roll some notes an hail a cab
Drive in church drive in back
Drive down seventh in a tank
Take in the sights, feel the breeze
See new yorks one and only tree
It can be found in garbage park
But dont inspect it after dark
Strike! new york! lightning!
Not once but twice.
Accidental hike in the transit strike
Roller skate or ride a bike
Three to a car, brooklyn bridge
You wont get far if youre privileged
Graffiti jack sprays in black
An englishman can he read it back?
Deli joe he ought to know
He runs the gang on pastrami row
Strike! lightning strike!
Because glass to glass, street to street
Buildings touch st. peters feet
From car to bar, prez to shah
Everything is in the jar
The 4 winds blow cos the 4 winds know
Takes a special hustle to make a roll
Honey girl on her feet
I wish everything to make her sweet
Strike! twice! ok so roll!
From harlem! strike one!
Harlem slum to penthouse block
On every door I already knocked
There wasnt anybody that I didnt leave alone
Somebody lying under every stone
Everything that a man could need
In a bag down by my knee
That looks good, this aint got seeds
Cheaper than booze down in the bowery
Lightning strike! old new york!
Everythings light! strike!
Hey ho such a night
Ill see yall
