Down and Out in New York City Lyrics

I was born in New York City
Saved by the night on a Monday
Trying to shoot the news
Not a bad cat, not a bad hat
Doing me a real big favor
Forget the bad cats and the bad hats
Playing it all real good
And a d*** boy give me a shine, boy, ha!
When a cold wind comes in New, New York City
And the street's no place to be but there you are
So you try hard or die hard
No one really gives a d*** to try hard
And to die hard, no one give a d***
And a d*** boy give me a shine, boy, ha!
Down and out in New York City
This ain't no way to be
Oh boy, letting you go
When you're down and out in New York City
Never, never, never gonna get that way again
No... not me, when you need a friend
You need to have her
When you want a friend
Gonna get myself together in the morning
Gonna leave it all
I want my dream
All the bad cats and the bad hats
Doing me a real big favor
You've got the bad cats and the bad hats
Paying me all real good
And a d*** boy give me a shine, boy, ha!
Give me a shine, boy
