THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - Boy From New York City

Doom, doom, doom

Doom, doom, doom

Doom, doom, doom



(Oooh-wah, oooh-wah cool, cool Kitty)

(Tell us about the boy from New York City)

(Oooh-wah, oooh-wah c'mon Kitty)

(Tell us about the boy from New York City)



He's kind of tall

He's really fine

Some day I hope

To make him mine, all mine

And he's neat

And oh, so sweet

And just the way he looked at me

He swept me off my feet

(Yeah)

Oo-oh-ooh-whee

You ought to come and see

How he walks (yeah, yeah)

And how he talks (yeah, yeah)



(Oooh-wah, oooh-wah, cool kitty)

(Tell us about)

(The boy from New York City)



He's really down

And he's no clown

He has the finest penthouse

I've ever seen in town

And he's cute

In his mohair suit

And he keeps his pockets full

Of spending loot (yeah)

Oo-oh-ooh-whee

Say you ought to come and see

His dueling scar

And brand new car (yeah, yeah)



Every time he says he loves me

Chills run down my spine

Every time he wants to kiss me

Oh, he makes me feel so fiii-ine

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

(Oooh-wah, oooh-wah, cool kitty)

Oh, yeah

(Tell us about the boy from New York City)



Oh, he can dance

(He can dance, take a chance with a little ro)

And make romance

(Dance baby, cause he's a looker)

That's when I fell in love

With just one glance

(He's sweet talking and coooool)



He was shy

And so was I

And now I know I'll never

Ever say goodbye

Oo-oh-ooh-ooooh-whee

Say you ought to come and see

He's the most (yeah, yeah)

From coast to coast (yeah, yeah)



(Oooh-wah, oooh-wah cool, cool Kitty)

Oh, yeah

(Tell us about the boy from New York City)

(Oooh-wah, oooh-wah c'mon Kitty)

Oh, yeah

(Tell us about the boy from New York City)

Talkin' 'bout the boy

(Oooh-wah, oooh-wah cool, cool Kitty)

The boy from New York City...
