Big City

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 her 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
