See all the names in lights on Broadway
Man! I gotta get there someday
So tired of losing ...been laughed & sat on
was goodbye London ... Hello Manhattan ... Oh! Yeah!
I got a gig down at CBGB's
MAN! they did not seem to like me
I should have lucked out ...I should be illin'
This never happened to Bobby Dylan ... oh Yeah!
I was Down & Out in NYC
All of my hopes & my dreams went with me
Sure, gets cold and none too pretty
Down & out... out in NYC … Oh Yeah!!
In NYC!
NYC!
Met some dude champagne Charlie
the real McCoy boy! a true Svengali
Saw a man from a record label
He said ' I hate your songs boy you're too unstable ‘... oh Yeah!
! I said Yeah! I said Yeah! I said Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Chorus (repeat)
Shrugged my shoulders ...turned up my collar
It sure gets hard trying to earn a dollar
No money down ... No luck I'm finding
The rain is pouring ... the sun ain't shinin'.... Oh YEAH!
