To the citiest people in the whole wide world 
You've been unkind to an un-city girl 
From the stone walls you grew 
So I'm not blaming you 
But look what the city 
Just look how the city 
Has taken a pretty 
And made an ugly of you 
Just look what the city is doin' to you 

To the citiest people in the citiest towns 
I'm not the one to be putting you down 
From the stone walls you grew 
But I grew there too 
And I know that the city 
The dirty old city 
Can take such a pretty 
And make an ugly of you 
Just look what the city is doin' to you
