Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Village of New York
Subject: Lyr Add: THE VILLAGE OF NEW YORK
Here are the complete lyrics to the song, courtesy of Mr. Jerome Larson & his son David from Minnesota, who has the original soundtrack album from the movie "Windjammer."
CHORUS: All the way from Norway, it's lemon juice and pork, But the wine and the food and the girls are good In the village of New York, in the village of New York.
They say in New York harbor there's a lady in the sea. She holds a light that shines so bright in the land of liberty, And we love liberty.
They say the buildings grow so tall they push away the sky, And if you drop from off the top from hunger first you will die, From hunger you will die. CHORUS
They say the subway runs for miles way underneath the ground. A friend of mine went there one time and he never has been found, He never has been found.
They say the elevators go like rockets in the air. Your ears go pop and when you stop, your stomach is not there, Your stomach is not there. CHORUS
They say they never dim the lights along the Great White Way. When day is done, the midnight sun comes out like in Norway, Comes out like in Norway.
They say the girls are buxom like the wind that's in the sails. They dress in pants and when they dance, they swing their ponytails, They swing their ponytails.
CHORUS
Songwriters: Terry Gilkyson, Rich Dehr, and Frank Miller, who performed together as the group The Easy Riders
