[00:00.00]New York's My Home - Sammy Davis, Jr.
[00:13.90]Listen all you New Yorkers
[00:15.23]There's a rumour going round
[00:17.08]That some of you good people
[00:18.56]Want to leave this town
[00:21.49]Well, you better consult with me
[00:23.17]Before you go (yeah)
[00:25.78]Cause I been to all those places
[00:28.26]And I know
[00:31.03](Chicago) well, Chicago's all right
[00:33.49]It's got Marshall Field and
[00:34.91]Soldier's Field and it's
[00:36.34]On a nice lake
[00:39.92]But it hasn't got
[00:41.28]The hansoms in the park
[00:43.89]It hasn't got a skyline after dark
[00:46.85](That's why New York's his home)
[00:49.39]Let me never leave it
[00:51.24]New York's my home, sweet home
[00:55.12](San Francisco)
[00:56.41]San Francisco is a lovely place
[00:58.45]It's got lots of hills
[00:59.61]And lots of thrills and it's
[01:02.03]Near an ocean of some size
[01:06.46]But it hasn't got
[01:07.69]The Bowery or The Bronx
[01:10.24]It hasn't got the Harlem honkytonks
[01:13.12](That's why New York's his home)
[01:15.59]Yeah, it's my favorite city
[01:17.27]New York's my home, sweet home
[01:21.57](St.Louis)
[01:22.97]Lots of people like St.Louis
[01:24.39]It's got lots of shoes
[01:25.64]And the St.Louis blues and one
[01:28.32]Of our larger rivers runs by
[01:32.63]But let's face it
[01:33.94]It hasn't got the opera in The Met
[01:37.55]It hasn't got a famous string quartet
[01:40.53](That's why New York's his home)
[01:42.90]No, not a place to visit
[01:44.70]New York's my home, sweet home
[01:50.32](Hollywood) Hollywood
[01:51.80]Hollywood's got movie stars and
[01:52.71]Movie czars and cocktail bars and
[01:54.88]Shiny cars and a wonderful climate
[01:57.57](Cough, cough) they say
[02:02.50]But it hasn't got
[02:03.94]The handy subway trains
[02:06.38]You seldom find a taxi
[02:07.85]When it's pouring down rain
[02:09.49](That's why New York's his home)
[02:11.37]Yeah, take your California
[02:13.20]New York's my home, sweet home
[02:17.53]So, save your time and trouble
[02:20.92]Save your railroad fare
[02:27.45]I said save your time and trouble
[02:32.52]Save your railroad fare
[02:39.92]Cause when you leave New York
[02:43.73]Man, you don't go anywhere
[02:48.82]It's a city where a man
[02:50.44]Can fulfill his dreams
[02:52.11]The only town that's left
[02:53.53]That's got three baseball teams
[02:55.46](That's why New York's his home)
[02:58.06]Let me never leave it
[02:59.34]New York's my home, sweet home
