NEW YORK BLUES
VERSE 1
I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT MY SUFFERING KEEPS ME LAUGHING.
IT'S STRANGE TO THINK I WAS ONCE MY BEST FRIEND.
TREAD UPON MY HEART AS IF IT WERE A WILTED ROSE
I'VE BEEN STRIPPED OF LOVE AND JOY GOTTA' TENDER WOUNDED SOUL.
CHORUS
I CAN'T WAIT TIL TUESDAY, WHEN I CLIMB ABOARD THAT OLD TRAIN
IT'LL TAKE ME ACROSS COUNTRY, I'LL START MY LIFE OVER AGAIN
VERSE 2
I'LL WALK THE STREETS OF SOHO, CREATIVE INSPIRATION
PAINT ON A LITTLE CORNER, DO WHAT SEEMS TO BE FUN
I FANCY A LITTLE FLAT, DINE IN THE VILLAGE
RIDE THAT SUBWAY EVERYWHERE - THROW A WISH FROM THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
CHORUS
I CAN'T WAIT TIL TUESDAY, WHEN I CLIMB ABOARD THAT OLD TRAIN
IT'LL TAKE ME ACROSS COUNTRY, I'LL START MY LIFE OVER AGAIN
VERSE 3
CRUISE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, HIT ALL THE MUSICALS
TAKE A RIDE ROUND CENTRAL PARK, DANCE IN THE BIG APPLE
HIKE THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, WEAR OUT THE METROPOLITAN
AND MADISON FIFTH AVENUE, CAHRGE IT AL BLOOIMGDALES
CHORUS
I CAN'T WAIT TIL TUESDAY, WHEN I CLIMB ABOARD THAT OLD TRAIN
IT'LL TAKE ME ACROSS COUNTRY, I'LL START MY LIFE OVER AGAIN
CHORUS REPEAT
I CAN'T WAIT TIL TUESDAY, WHEN I CLIMB ABOARD THAT OLD TRAIN
IT'LL TAKE ME ACROSS COUNTRY, I'LL START MY LIFE OVER AGAIN
