You don't need money when you're famous They gives you whatever you want, gratis Such as? A pair of new shoes with matching laces A permanent box at the Sheepshead Races Pastrami on rye with a sour pickle My personal puss on a wooden nickel Look at me, I'm the king of New York Suddenly, I'm respectable Staring right at ya, lousy rich stature Lovin' with all of my giddy-mucks Up low in my dough and going deluxe And there I be, ain't I pretty? It's my city, I'm the king of New York A conical watch with a chain to twirl it My very own bed and he named George Herlin A barbershop haircut that cost a quarter Regular beat for a star reporter And spray paint, she's the king of New York Who'd a thunk? I'm the king of New York We were sunk, pale and pitiful Muncha and Doodles Pulitzers poodles Almost about to drown in the drink When she missed us out And drowned us in ink So let's get drunk Yeah Up with liquor, fame works quicker when you're king of New York I gotta be either dead or dreaming 'cause Look at that paper with my face beaming Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it But I was a star for one whole minute All right Look at me, I'm the king of New York Wait and see, this is gonna make both The Delanceys pee in their pantsies Flash pods a-shootin' bright as the sun I'm one highfalutin son of a gun I guarantee, though I crapped out, I ain't tapped out I'm the king of New Friends may flee, let 'em ditch you Snap one picture, you're the king of New History, front page story God and glory, I'm the king Of New York
