| Song | New York City |
| Artist | They Might Be Giants |
| Album | John Henry + Factory Showroom |
| Vocal：John Flansburgh/John Linnell | |
| You called me last night on the telephone | |
| And I was glad to hear from you 'cause I was all alone | |
| You said, 'It's snowing, it's snowing! God, I hate this weather.' | |
| Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together | |
| We met in the springtime at a rock-and-roll show | |
| It was on the Bowery when it was time to go | |
| We kissed on the subway in the middle of the night | |
| I held your hand, you held mine, it was the best night of my life. | |
| 'Cause everyone's your friend in New York City | |
| And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty | |
| The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see | |
| But the best thing about New York City is you and me | |
| Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's* | |
| Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived** | |
| Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center | |
| Wish I was there | |
| You wrote me a letter just the other day | |
| Said, 'Springtime is coming soon so why don't you come to stay.' | |
| I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I can't believe it's true | |
| I'm three days from New York City and I'm three days from you | |
| 'Cause everyone's my friend in New York City | |
| And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty | |
| The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see | |
| But the best thing about New York City is you and me | |
| 'Cause everyone's my friend in New York City | |
| And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty | |
| The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see | |
| But the best thing about New York City is you and me. | |
