lyrics

Thank God I'm a City Boy

Well life on the farm was a little too slow
I was born with enough street smarts to know
Gotta walk fast to get where ya wanna go
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Well I look both ways, watch for pick-pockets
When I dance I pop-and-lock it
When I get hard knocks, I just hard knock it
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Well I got good friends, we got the subway,
Ride around the whole wide world in one day
Brooklyn to the Bronx it’s gonna be a fun day
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Well I didn’t fall off no turnip truck
I make my own way and I make my own luck
Like a real New Yorker I don’t give a fiddle
Thank God I’m a city boy!

My horse was tired of the same old drill
A humdrum life by the whiskey still
He followed me on his own free will
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Well I got good friends, we got the subway,
Ride around the whole wide world in one day
Brooklyn to the Bronx it’s gonna be a fun day
Thank God I’m a city boy!

No a country kinda life never did me no harm
Lousy with charm and a fire that’s warm
But being bored to death was a cause for alarm
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Yeah you can change it up in a “New York Minute”
If ya know when to quit and when to begin it
I hopped a train to the city now I’m in it
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Well I got good friends, we got the subway,
Ride around the whole wide world in one day
Brooklyn to the Bronx it’s gonna be a fun day
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Well life on a farm was a little too slow
I was born with enough street smarts to know
Gotta walk fast to get where ya wanna go...
Thank God I’m a city boy!

Well I got good friends, we got the subway,
Ride around the whole wide world in one day
Brooklyn to the Bronx it’s gonna be a fun day...
Thank God I’m a city boy, yes I am!
