The Five Days of New York

(Sing it)

On the first day of New York

When we got out of the air

We went straight to Friedman’s

To eat in Herald Square

On the first night of New York

We climbed way up in the sky

And watched the bright lights

From 86 floors high

On the morning of day two

We slipped below the ground

Took the subway to Yankee Stadium

Way Uptown

On the second day of New York

The kids played with slime and goo

At a place down in SoHo

Called SlooMoo

On the second day of New York

Through the fake bags in Louis brown

Me and grandmother

Survived a walk in Chinatown

On the second night of New York

We trained to Belmont Park

And watched NHL hockey

Until way, way after dark

On the second night of New York

Midnight in Times Square

A bike taxi ride

With a $200 fare

On the morning of day three

The rains came from the sky

So we had a big breakfast

To stay dry

On the third day of New York

A date to The Lion King

Grandmother and Banks

Watched Pumbaa and Timon sing

On the third day of New York

Christmas on Wall Street

We drank at Delmonico’s

But we did not eat

On the third day of New York

With my son to Bleecker Trading

Bought some cards

But could feel my energy fading

On the third night of New York

Date night on Avenue A

I felt under the weather

So we really couldn’t stay

But the food was super funky

And the pasta super good

Shame I had to eat it in the hotel

Instead of the cool East Village hood

On the morning of day four

We saw the Christmas tree

And resisted

A Saks Fifth Avenue shopping spree

On the fourth day of New York

The Rockettes stole the show

While me and the kids

Walked the city super slow

On the last night of New York

Live from MSG

The Knicks one thirty six

The Raptors one thirty

As we walked to the hotel

A cheese pizza slice in hand

I thought This City

Is the Greatest in the Land

On the fifth day of New York

I can say without a doubt

It was a wonderful holiday trip

But I’m completely worn out
