''Start spreading the news, I’m fleeing today.
Don’t want to be part of it.
New York, New York.
A communist fool, just got in the way
Right through the heart of it, New York, New York.
Don’t want to wake up in a city fool of these creeps.
Not gonna get shoved on the tracks or shot in the street.
These big city blues just won’t go away.
I’ll make a new start of it, just not New York.
Don’t want to wake up in a city full of these creeps.
Not gonna get shoved on the tracks or shot in the streets.
The democrat fools, just got in the way.
They are the fault of it, New York, New York.
If I can’t stand it here, I’ll have to go somewhere
that’s not New York, New York., New York.''
(With apologies to Frank Sinatra.)
