Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - 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 Cbaby, get uptight

Tight tight tight tight tight get uptight

Tight tight tight tight tight get uptight
