The Boy from New York City - Manhattan Transfer
Do do do do do do do do
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooo wah, ooo wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's kinda tall
He's really fine
Someday I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
Swept me off my feet (yeah)
Ooo whee, you ought to come and see
How he walks
Mmmm...and how he talks
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's really down
And he's no clown (yeah)
He has the finest penthouse I've ever seen in town (yeah)
And he's cute
In his mohair suit
And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot (yeah)
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see
His dueling scar
And brand new car (yeah yeah)
Everytime he says he loves me
Chills run down my spine
Everytime he wants to kiss me
Oh he makes me feel so fi-yi-yine
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty (oh yeah)
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Well he can dance
(he can dance, take a chance with a little ro-)
And make romance
('mance baby, cause he's a looker)
That's when I feel in love
With just one glance
(he's sweet talking and cool)
He was shy
And so was I
And now I know I'll never, ever say goodbye (yeah)
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see
He's the most (yeah yeah)
From coast to coast (yeah yeah)
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty (oh yeah)
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooo wah, ooo wah c'mon kitty (oh yeah)
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Talkin' bout the boy, the boy from New York City
Talkin' bout the boy, the boy from New York City
Oh yeah he's fine, sure wish that he was mine
Ooh that boy can dance, mmm and make romance
(fade)
