Facts About New York


from I Love New York

(words and music by Steve Karmen)

I Love New York
There isn't another like it.
No matter where you go.
And nobody can compare it.
It's win and place and show.
New York is special.
New York is diff'rent' cause there's no place else
on earth quite like New York and that's why
I Love New York

Why I Love New York

When it's Winter time in New York,
And the gentle breezes blow,
About seventy miles an hour
And it's fifty-two below.

You can tell you're in New York
'cause the snow's up to your butt,
And you take a breath of Winter air
And your nostrils both freeze shut.

The weather here is wonderful,
So I guess I'll hang around,
I could NEVER leave New York,
My feet are frozen to the ground.
