Down And Out In New York City

I was born in New York City on a Monday
 It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout Tuesday noon
 All the bad cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor
 The bad cats, in the bad hats playing it on real good
 Here's a dime boy, give me a shine, boy
 When the cold wind blows, it lives in New York City
 The street's no place to be but there you are
 So you try hard or you die hard, no one really gives a good damn
 You try hard or you die hard, no one gives a damn
 Here's a dime boy, give me a shine, boy
 You're down and out in New York City
 Ain't no place to be but where can you go?
 Down and out, New York City
 Never, never, never, never gonna get this way again
 Gonna get myself together in the mornin'
 Leave it all and one bad dream
 All the bad cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor
 The bad cats, in the bad hats, playing it on real good
 Here's a dime boy, give me a shine, boy
 Down and out in New York City
 Ain't no place to be, where can you go?
 When you're down and out, New York City
 Oh, time I want you down, to go
 Need a friend, where can you go?
 Down and out, New York City
 Never, never, never gonna get this way again
