D-DU-UDU
 And now  I know Spanish  Harlem  are  not
Just pretty  words  to say
 I thought  I knew,  but now  I know  that rose  trees
Never  grow  in New  York City
 Until  you've seen  this trash  can dream  come true
 You stand  at the edge  while people  run  you through
 I thank  the lord  there's people  out there  like you
 I thank the lord  there's people  out there  like you
 While Mona  Lisas  and  Mad Hatters, sons  of bankers, sons  of lawyers
 Turn around  and say  good morning  to  the night
 For unless  they see  the sky,  but they can't,  and that  is why
 They know  not if  it's dark  outside  or light
 This Broadway's got, it's got a lot of songs to sing, and
 If I knew the tune I might join in
 I'll go my way alone, grow my own, my own seeds
 Shall be sown in New York City
 Subway's no way for this good man to go down
 Rich man can ride, and the hobo he can drown
 And I thank the lord for the people I have found
 I thank the lord for the people I have found
 While Mona Lisas...
 And now I know Spanish Harlem...
 Subway's no way...
 While Mona Lisas...
 They know  not if  it's dark  outside  or light.
