Caterina Valente - I Happen To Like New York lyrics

(New York, New York) (New York, New York)... (East side, west side) (New York is the best ami) Every time I go away... off the beaten tracks I live only for the day... when I know I'm back I happen to like New York... I happen to like this town I like the city air... like to drink of it The more I know New York... the more I think of it I like the sight and the sound and even the stink of it I happen to like New York (East side, west side) I like to go to Battery Park... and watch those liners booming in I often ask myself, why should it be... that they come so far across the sea I suppose it's because they all agree with me... they happen to like New York (it's self, great time) Last Sunday afternoon I took a trip to Hackensack But after I gave Hackensack the once over I took the next train back (good time, . . . ?) I happen to like New York... I happen to love this town And when I have to give the world a last farewell And the undertaker starts to ring my funeral bell I don't want to go to heaven, don't want to go to hell I happen to like New York (good time, . . . ?) I happen to like.. New York
