From: sabbath54@mail.ru NEW YORK CITY (V Elmes/M Blakley) 1st verse Through the night I gambled I played a real cool hand People still remember They say "There goes that man" "Who always found four aces" Lady luck was mine 'Cos I fought and won life's battles and I made it just in time 2nd verse "Come on make up the number" That's all they had to say "We'll take him for a ride" It made me wanna stay Well I taught them a lesson To stop them foolin' round The crowd, they really gathered To see me break 'em down Chorus New York city, she's a friend of mine New York city, she's a friend of mine People think I cheat and lie But I don't really care 'Cos in New York city now People never stare Well I taught them a lesson To stop them foolin' round The crowd, they really gathered To see me break 'em down Chorus
