Lyrics
New York City (Anthology demo version)
Well I was standing on the corner
Just me and Yoko Ono
We was holding Jerry Rubin by the hand
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing, "Have a marijuana if you can"
Well he was trying to be real
His name was David Peel
He sang, "The Pope smokes dope all the day"
Up come a guitar man, trying to be a guitar
Singing, "The Pope smokes dope all the way"
New York City, New York City, New York City
Que pasa, New York? Que pasa, New York?
Just me and Yoko Ono
We was holding Jerry Rubin by the hand
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing, "Have a marijuana if you can"
Well he was trying to be real
His name was David Peel
He sang, "The Pope smokes dope all the day"
Up come a guitar man, trying to be a guitar
Singing, "The Pope smokes dope all the way"
New York City, New York City, New York City
Que pasa, New York? Que pasa, New York?
