I Love New York
04:34

Taking the train in via the LIRR
Going to the city that isn't too far
The view I see in front of me is chilling
The legendary skyline with all the tall buildings
My train stops and to my elation, I've
finally arrived at Penn Station
Time to roam free like a kid in a candy store
Time to run around the city that keeps me wanting more
Where to start out first is always a decision
Gotta plan my route out with fine precision
Start from a borough and work my way in
Wish I could split up like cell division
Start off in a place I call my 2nd home
The borough that sounds like ladies in their throne
I can go on about Astoria and back
But I already wrote a song about it; listen to the track
Now I'm on my way to the BK
Starting in Williamsburg to continue my day
The hipsters walking around in their skinny jeans
Di Chasidim misphokhe geyt shpatsiren
Then to Park Slope for a veggie nosh
The buildings are old but the town has panache
Now as much as I want to stay put
Time to go to Manhattan via the Williamsburg Bridge on foot
Taking the walking path and staying within the line
I look above me and I'm amused by a sign
It's official and true to the NY spirit within
It says, "Oh Vey! Now you're leaving Brooklyn"
I make my way to the Lower East Side
It has an aura that gentrification can't hide
The immigrants built the city's progress
The tenement buildings are old but the history is priceless
Walk up past NYU and Union Square
Stop at the market to get some local flair
Continue past Flatiron, Midtown, and more
Then to Central Park and all its allure
My favorite part is that lovely pond, where all the
Ducks and geese have a playful bond, and the
turtles crawl up on the rocks and relax outside
They've got the right idea they've got their pride
Then I walk through the trees and the many greens
with all the cement in the city this is something we really need
There's another pond where you can rent a canoe
Relax from the city life and daydream for a few
Then if you're a Beatles fan like I am
You'll make your way towards the direction of Amsterdam
Towards the Dakota Building at 72nd
Walk to Strawberry Fields to admire a legend
I come to a decision that's hard to decide, it's
Whether to go to the Upper East or West Side
The East is new money with its luxury stores, the
West is old money with museums galore
Forget it, I'll walk up to Morningside Heights, to
look at the one-of-a-kind architectural sites, like the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and a
Statue of Duke Ellington with his Steinway
Finally I'll go to my last destination
The site of the baseball team sensation
The Bronx Bombers and their swanky new pad
Yankees stadium is hoppin' with fans cheering mad
But with baseball I have to be fair
With my old family trips I couldn't help but stare, at the
Lights on what's now known as "Old Shea"
For me the memories of that can't go away
But anyway back to what I was sayin'
Running around New York City doing NYC playin', and
Hours and hours after the sun sets, I
Realize that this is as great as life gets
Though I should go back to my house on Long Island,
Relax from my senses that were heightened, but
Not too worry this trek isn't far, I can
Always make a trip on the LIRR
Sorry if my reminiscing is a little long, but
I had to put my love for New York in a song
It's not the first and it's not the last
Well what can I say, the city's a blast
I have so much love for the city you might think I'm crazy
I have so many memories but none of them are hazy
I speak well for a city that deserves much praise
I'll have NY in my heart, for forever and always

Seduce You
02:51
|

Oh you are such a good boy I want you bad, bad, bad
You seem awfully lonely, you look so sad, sad, sad
When I get myself on top of you I'll drive you mad
I walk by your side and catch your eye, eye, eye
I give you a tease and pinch your thigh, thigh, thigh
Wanna take you home, and show you why
I want to rip off your clothes, like nobody knows and arouse everything that shows
And then we'll play in a fantastical way, and you'll tingle from your head to your toes
You hit your peak you let out a cry, cry, cry,
And there you lay rested, satisfied, -fied, -fied,
You're like a drink, you're intoxified
Oh I ripped off your clothes, like nobody knows, and aroused everything that shows
And then we played in a fantastical way, and you tingled from your head to your toes
My oh my, my oh my, my oh my

For Astoria's Sake
02:24
|
|||
Walkin' to Martha's, gonna
buy me a cupcake, gonna
put my prosperity in,
For Astoria's sake
Then for a lark, I'm gonna
walk through Astoria Park
gonna take a scenic break
For Astoria's sake
(middle part - la la la laaaaaa...)
Then, like a prawess, I'm gonna
raid Pizza Palace
Gonna splurge on my caloric intake
For Astoria's Sake
Seven One Eight, where the
scene is great, want all the
drinks that they can make
For Astoria's sake, go to all the
parties that I can partake
For Astoria's sake
Gonna party til I can't stay awake
For Astoria's sake

If I Lose You
02:50
|
|||
And if I get lost, I'll try to find my way
And if I lose my faith, only god can save
But if I lose you, I don't know what I would do
And if the smile leaves your eyes everything dies
Forget about finding them, when you have to find yourself
And if you lose a friend, it's not like the world will end
But if I lose you, I don't know what I would do,
And if the smile leaves your eyes everything dies
(Random Russian: My name is Julie, my turtle's name is Izzy,
i like chocolate, I grew up on Long Island)
Forget about finding them, when you have to find yourself
And if you lose a friend, it's not like the world will end
But if I lose you, I don't know what I would do,
And if the smile leaves your eyes everything dies, everything dies.

Treated you like a king
Wanted to be your queen
For all of the breakfasts I made
and affection displayed
For all the kisses on your face and cuddles
in your embrace
For endless compliments I gave
A bond I wanted to save
For the times you lied
And the days I've cried
I thank god you'll never hurt me again
you'll never hurt me again
For empty promises unkept
While I sat home and wept
Empty feelings preserved
Treatment I never deserved
In life you weren't bored
While I was ignored
For all the heartbreaking pain
Listening to "Crying In the Rain"
For the times you lied
And the days I've cried
I thank god you'll never hurt me again
you'll never hurt me again
For the pain I feel now
It will end somehow
I'll know for now and years
You never deserved my tears
I'll take it in strife
This ended chapter in my life
With lonely feelings surpressed
I wish you the best
For the times you lied
And the days I've cried
I thank god you'll never hurt me again
you'll never hurt me again

Lights Out Car Crash
02:29
|

When the lights go out we're perfect
But when the lights come on I'm nervous
When the lights go out we're merging
But when the lights come on diverging
There's honesty then there's you
There's beauty then there's me
There's harmony then there's you and me
There's harmony then there's you and me
Red flags red lights
Stop signs stop lights
Won't stop us from this car crash
Our love is a car crash
When the lights go out we're ideal
But when the lights come on it's unreal
When the lights go out atomic
But when the lights come on bubonic
There's integrity then there's you
There's sanity then there's me
There's harmony then there's you and me
There's harmony then there's you and me
Red flags red lights
Stop signs stop lights
Won't stop us from this car crash
Our love is a car crash
When the lights go out we're soulmates
But when the lights come on it's checkmate
When the lights go out you'd marry me
But when the lights come on you'd kill me
There's truth then there's you
There's security then there's me
There's true love then there's you and me
There's true love then there's you and me
Red flags red lights
Stop signs stop lights
Won't stop us from this car crash
Our love is a car crash
Our love is a car crash
Our love is a car crash
Our love is a ---

Oh I've been waiting for this, my whole life
I'm waiting for the day for you to call me your wife
Get down on one knee
Ask for matrimony
I'm waiting for a ring
it doesn't have to be huge,
all that
matters is it's something thoughtful coming from you,
and I will
show it off to my friends,
and I will
wear it til my life ends
The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing
The flowers will be fragrant and bells will ring
I hope it's on the way, I
can't wait for my special day
We'll have a bangin' boda I don't know where;
I'll have
something old and new and borrowed and blue in my hair,
And
I'll be dressed in white
beaming with delight
My husband will be handsome dressed in his suit
With a smile on his face he'll be looking all cute
And then when time allows
We'll exchange our vows
The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing
Flowers will be fragrant and bells will ring
I hope it's on the way, I
can't wait for my special day
I'll kindly tell my husband to prepare
With my family's tradition we'll be lifted on chairs
And I'll await the best thing
We'll both get our rings! (rings!)
A holy man will read a verse or two
Then we'll look at each other and say, "I do",
And then we'll have a blast
And we'll be married at last!
The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing
The flowers will be fragrant and bells will ring
People will cheer and confetti will fling
We'll be excited for what life will bring
The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing
I'll be his queen and he'll be my king
I hope it's on the way
I can't wait for my special day

You Are My Best Friend
03:05
|
|||
What does it feel like to have someone to talk with
What does it feel like to have someone to confide in
Seems like everyone has someone special that they can talk with
If there's someone for me I'd say
You are my best friend 8x
I am calm and content and a good listener
But when I need people for me, they're gone
I am a caring person so why is no one around to care for me?
You are my best friend 4x
Where is my best friend? 4x
For me in life I've always had a boyfriend as a best friend
Pardon me for this disgruntled attitude
But what have I done in life to deserve this solitude? Oh!
You are my best friend 12x
Where is my best friend? 4x

I‘m not a pleasant gal
You’ll do exactly as I tell
I’ll beat down your morale, and make your life a living hell
You’ll do exactly as I say
Bow down to my grace
For mercy you shall pray
As I spit in your face
You expect me to smile, not likely
I won't be your slave, oh, you'll be mine
Because the queen always gets her way
(instrumental)
I‘m not a pleasant gal
You’ll do exactly as I tell
I’ll beat down your morale, and make your life a living hell
You’ll do exactly as I say
Bow down to my grace
For mercy you shall pray, because the
queen always gets her way
The queen always gets her way 3x

Wear That Fedora
03:05
|

I will love you at the beach
I will love you within reach
I will love you in a pool
I will love you 'cuz I think you're cool
I will love you on the floor
I will love you by the shore
I will love you in a park
I will love you in the dark
As long as you wear that fedora, as long as you wear that fedora
I will love you anywhere, I will love you anywhere
I will love you in your car
I will love you like a star
I will love you all day long
I will love you while I'm singing this song
I will love you in the shower
Give it to me with all of your power
I'll love you deeply in your bed
Love me while I am spread
As long as you wear that fedora, as long as you wear that fedora
I will love you anywhere, I will love you anywhere
I will love you anywhere, I will love you anywhere
(Breakdown, bass solo)
I will love you in Beijing
I will love you while I sing
I will love you in L.A.
You can love me in any way
I will love you in Berlin
Let me emphasize for the win
There's no other look to compare
Wear that fedora and I'll love you anywhere
Wear that fedora I'll love you anywhere 8x
Wear that fedora 4x
