ya' know that I don't care____;
____Chorus:
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' thru' my life,
the pounding beat of the city streets
that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down,
but somehow I survive____
it's got to be____the New York City rhythm in my life,
it's got to be____the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
