The Empire State | |
The RCA | |
The Chrysler Building so tall | |
And so grey | |
When you’re walking down the street | |
In New York | |
And you haven’t got a friend in town | |
Then a funny thing can happen | |
A funny thing can happen | |
When you look at all the buildings | |
All around | |
A funny thing can happen | |
A funny thing can happen | |
If you let those lonely buildings | |
Get you down | |
You get the skyscraper blues | |
The skyscraper blues | |
You get the feeling | |
They’re hemming you in | |
The Empire State | |
The RCA | |
The Chrysler Building so tall | |
And so grey | |
They’re looming bold and high | |
Against the cold, grey sky | |
And a funny thing can happen | |
A funny thing can happen | |
If you let those lonely buildings | |
Get you down | |
You get the skyscraper blues | |
The tall building blues | |
The wind comes whipping ‘round them | |
With a moan | |
It’s murder to lose | |
Those skyscraper blues | |
When you walk in New York | |
Alone | |
A million faces swarm | |
All around you | |
You search them for a friendly smile or two | |
But they’re only empty faces | |
That surround you | |
And you know | |
They’re as lonesome as you | |
You’ve got the skyscraper blues | |
The tall building blues | |
The wind comes whipping 'round you | |
With a moan | |
Yes, it’s murder to lose | |
Those skyscraper blues | |
When you walk in New York | |
Alone |
The Empire State | |
The RCA | |
The Chrysler Building so tall | |
And so grey | |
When you' re walking down the street | |
In New York | |
And you haven' t got a friend in town | |
Then a funny thing can happen | |
A funny thing can happen | |
When you look at all the buildings | |
All around | |
A funny thing can happen | |
A funny thing can happen | |
If you let those lonely buildings | |
Get you down | |
You get the skyscraper blues | |
The skyscraper blues | |
You get the feeling | |
They' re hemming you in | |
The Empire State | |
The RCA | |
The Chrysler Building so tall | |
And so grey | |
They' re looming bold and high | |
Against the cold, grey sky | |
And a funny thing can happen | |
A funny thing can happen | |
If you let those lonely buildings | |
Get you down | |
You get the skyscraper blues | |
The tall building blues | |
The wind comes whipping ' round them | |
With a moan | |
It' s murder to lose | |
Those skyscraper blues | |
When you walk in New York | |
Alone | |
A million faces swarm | |
All around you | |
You search them for a friendly smile or two | |
But they' re only empty faces | |
That surround you | |
And you know | |
They' re as lonesome as you | |
You' ve got the skyscraper blues | |
The tall building blues | |
The wind comes whipping ' round you | |
With a moan | |
Yes, it' s murder to lose | |
Those skyscraper blues | |
When you walk in New York | |
