Lightning Strikes Lyrics:Now lightning strikes in old

New york

It may be dark but I wanna talk

It might rain, it might snow

Too many things I got to know

If this is spring than its time to sing

Never mind the lil birdies wing

Look out, look out, old new york

New yorks coming an new york talks

Hey! strike! not once...

Strike! but twice!



Get out your money - peel a slab

Roll some notes an hail a cab

Drive in church drive in back

Drive down seventh in a tank

Take in the sights, feel the breeze

See new yorks one and only tree

It can be found in garbage park

But dont inspect it after dark

Strike! new york! lightning!

Not once but twice.



Accidental hike in the transit strike

Roller skate or ride a bike

Three to a car, brooklyn bridge

You wont get far if youre privileged

Graffiti jack sprays in black

An englishman can he read it back?

Deli joe he ought to know

He runs the gang on pastrami row

Strike! lightning strike!



Because glass to glass, street to street

Buildings touch st. peters feet

From car to bar, prez to shah

Everything is in the jar

The 4 winds blow cos the 4 winds know

Takes a special hustle to make a roll

Honey girl on her feet

I wish everything to make her sweet

Strike! twice! ok so roll!

From harlem! strike one!



Harlem slum to penthouse block

On every door I already knocked

There wasnt anybody that I didnt leave alone

Somebody lying under every stone

Everything that a man could need

In a bag down by my knee

That looks good, this aint got seeds

Cheaper than booze down in the bowery

Lightning strike! old new york!

Everythings light! strike!



Hey ho such a night

Ill see yall
