Lightning Strikes (Not Once but Twice) - Remastered

Now lightning strikes in old
 New York
 It may be dark but I wanna talk
 It might rain, it might snow
 Too many things I got to know
 If this is spring than it's time to sing
 Never mind the l'il birdies wing
 Look out, look out, old New York
 New York's coming an' New York talks
 Hey! Strike! Not once...
 Strike! But twice!
 Get out your money - peel a slab
 Roll some notes an' hail a cab
 Drive in church drive in back
 Drive down Seventh in a tank
 Take in the sights, feel the breeze
 See New York's one and only tree
 It can be found in Garbage park
 But don't inspect it after dark
 Strike! New York! Lightning!
 Not once but twice.
 Accidental hike in the transit strike
 Roller skate or ride a bike
 Three to a car, Brooklyn Bridge
 You won't get far if you're privileged
 Graffiti Jack sprays in black
 An Englishman can he read it back?
 Deli Joe he ought to know
 He runs the gang on Pastrami Row
 Strike! Lightning strike!
 Because glass to glass, street to street
 Buildings touch St. Peter's feet
 From car to bar, prez to shah
 Everything is in the jar
 The 4 winds blow cos the 4 winds know
 Takes a special hustle to make a roll
 Honey girl on her feet
 I wish everything to make her sweet
 Strike! Twice! OK so roll!
 From Harlem! Strike one!
 Harlem slum to penthouse block
 On every door I already knocked
 There wasn't anybody that I didn't leave alone
 Somebody lying under every stone
 Everything that a man could need
 In a bag down by my knee
 That looks good, this ain't got seeds
 Cheaper than booze down in the bowery
 Lightning strike! Old New York!
 Everything's light! Strike!
 Hey ho such a night
 I'll see y'all when the lightning strike
 A polaroid caught in the act
 You're married too and that's a fact
 But I won't peek and I won't squeek
 Down by the trucks on Christopher Street
 It's Cuban Day - Oi Vey
 Chinese New Year let's call it a day
 Tootsie! Hey Chi man!
 That melody is Puerto Rican
 Hey Chi man is what he's speaking
 An' there's the road down into London Town
 Where many cars get broken down
 It's the Westway from Ladbroke Grove
 Runs down to Old Hounslow
 Just thought I'd mention the new extention
 That run's down the 59th street intersection
 Did you hear the news y'all?
 London Town on the Broadway!
