( Live Peel Session 2000 ) Old New York City is a friendly old town, From Washington Heights to Harlem on down. There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around, They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down. It's a mighty long ways from the Golden Gate To Rockefeller center n' the Empire State. Mister Empire sets up as high as a bird, Old Mister Rockefeller never says a word.
