lyrics

Shine ya shoes govna?
Let me tell you something
When you DONE LEFT HOME & think you're grown
Talking bout' going to the Big City The Big City Ain't Got No Pity in the big city, we're waiting on you
You have no idea when you talking ‘bout the city Let me tell you something................

I was born in New York City on a Monday
Seems I was out shinning shoes by Tuesday noon
Yeah, all the fat cats in the bad hats
Doing me a real big favor
Got the fat cats in the bad hats laying it on real good
Here’s a dime boy, give me a shine boy

When the cold wind blow in NYC
The streets don’t place to be, but there you are
So you try hard or you die hard
Nobody really gives a good damn
And you try hard or you die hard
No one gives a damn
Here’s a dime boy give me shine boy
When you’re down and out in NYC
Ain’t no way to be, but where you go?
When you’re down and out in NYC

Never never never gonna get that way again, Hey!

Gonna get myself together in the morning
Gonna leave it all behind like a bad bad dream
All the fat cats in the bad hats doing me a real big favor
All the fat cats in the bad hats laying it on real good
Here’s a dime boy give me shine boy
When you’re down and out in NYC
Ain’t nowhere to be when where can you go
When you’re down and out in NYC

Never never never gonna get that way again

When you’re down and out
Ohh when you’re down and out
Down and out in NYC

All the fat cats with the bad hats doing me a real big favor
When your down and out…
Oh when your down and out…

All the fat cats with the bad hats
AAH BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
