Lyrics
Hey Big Apple
What is this place I find myself in
With so many people and so much sin
Skyscrappers lurking, subways below
Everything's moving and none of it's slow
Prescinct one is where we had to go
Cadets were scramblin as we felt the blow
Something's happened and their all a stir
Panic stricken, my eyes were a blur
Hey Big Apple, give me a break today
I'm just small potatoes, let me slip away
Just another day in the city that doesn't sleep
Another scam, another deal, another creep
Don't look right into their eyes
You'll surely unveil your foreign disguise
Keep alert don't be afraid
Horns honking, people yelling, gives me a headache
the buzz of the city is quite a rush
I prefer quiet, just a silent hush
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
