To the citiest people in the whole wide world

You've been unkind to an un-city girl

From the stone walls you grew

So I'm not blaming you

But look what the city

Just look how the city

Has taken a pretty

And made an ugly of you

Just look what the city is doin' to you



To the citiest people in the citiest towns

I'm not the one to be putting you down

From the stone walls you grew

But I grew there too

And I know that the city

The dirty old city

Can take such a pretty

And make an ugly of you

Just look what the city is doin' to you
