Steppin' out on Broadway
 In a place they call Manhattan
 Witness life and death itself
 And watch as it happens
 Here is New York town baby
 You don't trust no one
 Or you may soon be face to face
 With someone's loaded gun
 
 CHORUS:
 New York City streets
 New York City streets
 
 Standin' on a corner in this heavy New York City
 Waits a lady dressed to kill she' tryin' to be pretty
 Best believe she's hustlin' just to
 Make her man a score
 Keep him in the finest style that's
 What a good girl's for
 
 CHORUS
 
 Harlem star in their big black cars
 New York City sidewalks
 On a young girl's knee
 New York City
 Gotta get away,
 Gotta get away from New York
 New York City
 
 CHORUS
