Testo The New York Shuffle

(Spoken) All right, let's do the New York Shuffle (over D) A D A D A D D A Manhattan baby with a sing song voice G D she got her place in the human zoo D A I went to living on the boulevard G A now that the revolution's due G A She said I've been around from town to town G A and I learned to love and hate G A But time don't change not a unique game, G A D they just keep herding through that gate CHORUS D A And do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle, G D Going to stay awake all night D A Do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle, G A D D A D Get yourself uptight, get uptight Stick around kids you're going to see some action better shoot them in the street Grab a gun before the police come, Don't tell me you're too sweet Down in the alley they are hitting harder Not as blown as a ball can be They're burnin' flags here and just in drag here It sure is a sight to see REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Bm E Bm E Mister Mayor give the key, let me lock you up Bm E G A Throw that key down the deepest subway in New York, New York INSTRUMENTAL VERSE (2 lines end on D) Ah primal scream I had electric dream I had to bang my head against the ground I have to get out quick before I get as sick As the people living in this town Bounce me off the pavement bounce me off the wall Bounce me off a taxi car Give me a shot of that old Jack Daniels And put me down in bars REPEAT CHORUS twice then down in New York City, get upight down in New York baby, get uptight Tight tight tight tight tight get uptight Tight tight tight tight tight get uptight
