Song | I Happen to Like New York |
Artist | Judy Garland |
Album | The Best of Judy [BOX SET] |
Lyrics:Cole Porter Music:Cole Porter | |
I happen to like New York, I happen to like this town. | |
I like the city air, I like to drink of it, | |
The more I know New York the more I think of it. | |
I like the sight and the sound and even the stink of it. | |
I happen to like New York. | |
I like to go to Battery Park and watch those liners booming in. | |
I often ask myself, why should it be that they come so far across the sea. | |
I suppose it's because they all agree with me. | |
They happen to like New York. | |
Last Sunday afternoon I took a trip to Hackensack, | |
But after I gave Hackensack the once over, I took the next train back. | |
I happen to like New York. I happen to love this burg. | |
And when I have to give the world a last farewell, | |
And the undertaker starts to ring my funeral bell, | |
I don't want to go to heaven, don't want to go to hell. | |
I happen to like New York. I happen to like New York. |
