about

This version of Vince Jones’ classic tune written by Marvin Jenkins. Featuring Zac Teichmann on Vocals. Soloist: Tarko Sibbel

lyrics

There's no place on Earth that I'd rather be
Give me the bright lights
Big cities for me

Don't live in the country
All those hippies running free
All I want are the bright lights
Big cities for me

Now come on, come on, to the city
Big cities for me

I got a woman and she's waiting there for me
And I met her in the city
Big cities for me

Night-time is the right time
Shock town is my town

I got a woman and she's waiting there for me
I met her in the city
Big cities for me

Night-time is the right time
Shock town is my town
New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, oh
