* I do NOT own anything

Lyrics:

A pair of new shoes with matching laces.
A permanent box at Sheepshead races.
A porcelain tub with boiling water.
A Saturday night with the Mayor's daughter!

Look at me, I'm the king of New York!
Suddenly I'm respectable staring right at you lousy with stature!
Nobbing with all the muckety- mucks
I'm blowing my doe and going deluxe!
And there I be, ain't I pretty?
It's my city, I'm the king of New York!

A corduroy suit with fitted knickers.
A mezzanine seat to see the flickers.
Havana cigars that cost a quarter.
An editors desk for the star reporter!

Tip your hat, he's the king of New York!
(How 'bout that, I'm the king of New York)
In nothing flat he'll be covering Brooklyn to Trenton, our man Denton
Making a headline out of a hunch.
Protecting the weak,
And paying for lunch!
When I'm at bat strong men crumble,
Proud get humble
He's (I'm) the king of New York! (You'l be either dead or dreaming)
'Cause look at that pape with my face beaming.
Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it,
But I was a star for one whole minuet!

Starting now I'm the king of New York!
(Ain't you heard I'm the king of New York)
Holy cow! It's a miracle, Pulitzer's crying Weasel he's dying!
Flashpots are shooting bright as the sun,
I'm one highfalutin' sun of a gun!
Don't ask me how fortune found me,
Fate just crowned me
Now I'm king of New York! (Look and see)
Once a piker, now a striker
I'm the king of New York! (Victory)
Front page story, guts and glory
I'm the king of New York!

Thanks for watching!
