I wish that I was back in New York City
The girls there, they really got my line
I'd like to be with my old flame, Miss Pretty
To be with her, you know,
that'd really be fine
Oh, cuddle up in a penthouse,
that's alright, you know,
she'd make a good wife.
I wish that I was back in New York City
Fifth Avenue's a really swanky place
It don't take long to meet
the girl you're after
They stand around,
it's not that long away
Oh, cuddle up in a man's house,
well that's alright
You know, she'd make a good wife
City traffic don't bother me,
well that's alright, it's free
Thinkin' bout the girls I've met and left
It won't take long to run her down the line
But you know one stands
out above the others
Miss pretty, oh won't you be my wife?
I wish that I was back in New York City
The girls there, they really got my line
I'd like to be with my old flame, Miss Pretty
Oh, call me darling,
won't you be my wife?
Oh, call me darling, won't you be my wife?
