New York In The 70's

Catherine Feeny


Lord, is it Monday again? 
Boy, are you leaving again? 
And are we fighting or can we be friends? 
You say: "It's so hard to love you from afar 
And I would hold you but I don't know where you are 
You can call me later today 
If you decide to join the human race 
Okay?" 

Oh boy, we are so good, so bad 
In so many ways 
And when I think about the way that life should be 
I think of Sesame Street 
Kids of every color holding hands and laughing down the street 
New York in the 70's 

And if there's one thing that I could learn from TV 
I wish that I could learn to be carefree 
We could all use just a little more laughing 
And you say: "It's so hard to believe 
In you and me 
When you don't believe in anything" 
But that's not true 
I believe in dancing feet 
And baseball in the street 
And swimming in fountains 
To escape the summer heat 
New York in the 70's 

Oh boy, we are so good, so bad 
In so many ways 

And you said: 
"So hard to love you from afar" 
And I would grab you and kiss you 
But I can't see where you are 
And you never tip your cards to me 
No, not as far as I can see
