Lyrics
We’re leaving the city,
We’re leaving this town,
The climate’s unhealthy,
It’s getting me down.
If we don’t get out,
We’ll be dead on our feet,
It ain’t the humidity,
It’s the heat.

CHORUS
It’s a nice place to visit,
But I wouldn’t wanna live here,
Wouldn’t wanna live here.
Wouldn’t wanna live here,
1st time: With the folks uptight,
It’s too big to fight.
2nd time: How’s a guy to feel,
When they talk repeal?
3rd time: To Coda
It’s a shame what they’re doin’ to New York.

I’m leaving the city,
I’m leaving this place,
My lawyer told me,
I’m a critical case.
I gotta stretch out
On a quiet retreat,
Or we’ll be all stretched out
On a slab of concrete.

CHORUS

We’re leaving the city,
We’re leaving right now.
We’ve gone ‘bout as far
As the law will allow.
We’re off on vacation,
The ticket’s one way.
They urge us to go,
They don’t tell us to stay.

CHORUS

CODA
When you open shop,
Comes an honest cop.
Next year I hear
There’ll be legal beer.
After all this time,
Taking dough’s a crime.
Now they get upset
When you take a bet.
Girls are free,
Now they’re working.
What a great big fuss
Over little us.
It’s a shame what they’re doin’ to New York.
