Big City
written by Ed McDonald and Paul Yanuziello
She came from Idaho
Wants to make it in a big city show
She works from 9 – 5
Got to keep that working girl alive
Stars are shining all around
She’s still stomping the same old ground
On Broadways Boulevard
They don’t seem to take any regard
New York City never promised you
Anything good at all, I can tell you
New York City never promised you
North Star shining over you
East River who gives a damn
Manhattans not in your plan
I can tell you
New York City never promised you
Anything good at all
She grabs her hat and coat
Goes down to the Bowery afloat
She’s auditioning today
For a bit part in a Broadway play
Look at you girl
Now you’re on top of the world
Coming from Idaho
Living in your big city show
New York City never promised you
Anything good at all, I can tell you
New York City never promised you
North Star shining over you
They fished a body out of the East River today
She was last seen auditioning for a Broadway play
They say she made it in a big city show
The girl who came from Idaho
New York City never promised you
Anything good at all, I can tell you
New York City never promised you
North Star shining over you
