WHEN A GUY MOVES TO NEW YORK CITY by HAL WALKER
I’m gonna make a friend tonight OK
I’m gonna let myself be denied, that’s alright.
When a guy moves to New York City
He finds out that there’s no welcome committee
so he tries to be especially friendly
but the truth is friends just don’t come easy
He’s fresh and ready to go hello hello
he’s got the time for a Joe, Ok
When a guy moves to New York City
Names and faces tend to turn kinda blurry
he says hello to every single person that he sees
Hello woman on the street with your pretty hat and shoes
are you someone I could meet for some dinner and some blues
Hello man down in the subway station
could I offer you some conversation?
When a guy moves to New York City
people seem at first to be too busy
but the truth is they’re as ready to find a friend as he
There’s the people you meet cause of the things you do
and there’s the people you didn’t meet
cause of the things you didn’t do
then there’s the people you didn’t meet cause of the things you do
and the people you meet cause of the things you didn’t do
I’m gonna do until I’m done I’m gonna make a friend
I’m gonna prove that I’m the one who’s gonna let you in
I’m gonna walk on Washington Square
and blow my harmonica for everyone sitting there
I’m gonna stand at the top of the city
and tell everybody I think that I’m ready
When a guy moves to New York City,
Sometimes things might turn kinda crazy
He might even get a little bit lonely
and he’s probably spending too much money (Instrumental)
Hello brother with long hair could I offer you a chair?
Hello preacher standing there would you offer me a prayer?
Hello woman in the jeans…
“Hey you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.”
“Hey you’re the most beautiful boy I’ve ever seen.”
