The City That Never Sleeps


The air tonight is glowing with light
The alleyways are full of creeps
The city life is lively tonight
In the city that never sleeps

Turtle Pond in Central Park
Glows with phosphorescent light
You can see the Empire State Building
Standing tall at a great height

A taxi almost broadsides 
a long white limousine
If you look in the window of the limo
Alec Baldwin can be seen

Times Square is
full o’ gigantic ads
The Freedom Tower is
made of steel and glass
In Central Park some signs say
“Stay off the grass”
But who is gonna
listen to that?

On the high line
People walking this way and that
Tourists biking the Brooklyn Bridge
Yo, “Ride Phat”
The Statue of Liberty
Holding her torch high
The glowing of her torch
Lights up the night sky

Head over to the Theater District
Performing The Lion King, nope, not Panda
And Alexander Hamilton
By Lin-Manuel Miranda
We could go see Wicked
Or maybe Aladdin
Then we could admire the theater
That we just sat in

Yeah, this is Manhattan
Not Staten Island or Brooklyn
Now I'm going to end this
While everybody's lookin’
