Start packing my bag
I'm leaving tonight
I'm on my way again, my friend, to good old York
I've got comfy shoes
For walking those aisles
And pockets full of dough, ya know
To spend in York


I want to walk into the halls of Brown and Orange
To find the bargains I seek, hope that they're cheap

Those winter time blues
Have melted away
Gonna get some scrapple and frys
In good old York
I'll eat a funnel cake
And get a tummy ache
I love the food at good old York

<Musical interlude>

In good old York.......

I hope to find the trains that I have always seeked
And find them mint in the box, price not too steep………………


The day is at end
I'm on my way home
A back seat full of bargain stuff
I bought at York

Yes I’ll be back again

For bargains without end

At the next meet at good old York

da da dadadada da da dadadada da da dadadada          good          old          York!

'New York, New York' - Frank Sinatra.  Lyrics below:

 

Start spreading the news,
I'm leaving today.
I want to be a part of it -
New York, New York.

These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And step around the heart of it
New York, New York.

I want to wake up in a city,
That doesn't sleep,
To find I'm king of the hill- ah-
Top of the heap.

My little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York.
If I can make it there,
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you,
New York, New York.

New York, New York!

I want to wake up in a city,
That doesn't sleep,
To find I'm king of the hill,
Head of the list,
Cream of the crop
At top of the heap.

My little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York.
If I can make it there,
I'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through,
New York, New York.
