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
