New York


New York New York
the city of dreams
and a thousand good intentions
where the gawkers flock
to to plays and shows
her statue and buildings
 
 
Manhattan my home
so melded so gorgeous
neighborhoods we try to claim
for culture race or creed
whether its asians running chinatown
white in tribeca
blacks in harlem
or hispanics in washington Heights
jews here catholics there
 
 
theres never one group
in our tight mini cities
just beautiful diversity
like no place on earth
New York New York
the city of dreams
a melting pot
every city should be
