[al:If You Don't Like It, You Can Leave]
[00:10.03] Battery Park I'm on my way to Union Square
[00:14.62] I don't need much a pair of shoes will get me there
[00:19.18] Stop for a Peking duck for lunch in Chinatown
[00:23.72] Shop for a watch along Canal
[00:25.90] Mine's slowing down
[00:28.28] But I've been on time ever since I was sixteen
[00:32.84] I've never been late
[00:35.07] Cause I've never had to wait
[00:37.29] For the lights turn from red to green
[00:41.90] What does horsepower even mean?
[00:47.40] I don't know how to drive
[00:52.20] Who the hell wants a car anyway?
[00:56.10] My feet on the street I'm alive
[00:58.97] I'm at looking you
[01:00.14] Stuck sitting in traffic for an hour or two
[01:05.00] The back of a cabbie's head blocking the view
[01:08.28] That's not what New Yorkers do
[01:10.47] Bumper to Bumper it's St. Patrick's Day parade
[01:14.82] Plaza Hotel's my shortcut though I've never stayed
[01:19.52] Meet you at 3: 15 outside the Guggenheim
[01:24.01] Later for dinner and a little night music
[01:26.75] I love Sondheim
[01:28.93] And I've been walking tall ever since I was sixteen
[01:33.23] I've never missed a date
[01:35.40] Cause I've never had to wait
[01:37.57] For the lights to turn from red to green
[01:42.33] I'm my own two-legged machine
[01:47.68] I don't know how to drive
[01:52.39] Who the hell wants a car anyway?
[01:56.43] My feet on the street I'm alive
[01:59.21] I'm at looking you
[02:00.47] Stuck sitting in traffic for an hour or two
[02:05.27] The back of a cabbie's head blocking the view
[02:08.66] That's not what New Yorkers do
[02:11.34] Out in the Hamptons everyone owns a Cadillac
[02:15.75] Models with DUIs and a taste for Armagnac
[02:19.23] Why would I need a wheel if I want to feel
[02:23.78] Like I'm going places
[02:26.66] I'll take a few paces
[02:29.44] I don't know how to drive
[02:34.00] Who the hell wants a car anyway?
[02:38.10] My feet on the street I'm alive
[02:40.94] I'm at looking you
[02:42.14] Stuck sitting in traffic for an hour or two
[02:47.10] The back of a cabbie's head blocking the view
[02:51.75] When will you wake up
[02:53.33] And see the only way through
[02:56.16] Is out here on the sidewalk
[02:58.44] Cause walking's what true
[03:02.33] New Yorkers do
