Too Dumb For New York

When i first s[D]aw New York city

        I was green down to the core

        You could see my red neck glowing

        For a mile or maybe more
        Between the hu[A]stlers and the hookers

        I must have made their day

        Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
        And sent me on my [D]way

        When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

        It ain't no place to be

        So i came to one conclusion
        New Y[A]ork ain't for me

        From s[D]ea to shining sea

        And coast to coast

        Somewhere in the middle

        Is the land i love the most
        I ain't Ca[A]lifornia pretty

        I can't survive the Great White Way

        I'm too dumb for New York city
        And too ugly for L[D].A.

        I made my way to Tinseltown

        To Hollywood and Vine

        Out among those pretty faces

        I'd surely find a place for mine
        The wa[A]y i walk-the way i talk

        They'll hang on every word

        But don't call me,i'll call you
        Was all i ever hea[D]rd

        In L.A. what they're thinking

        Ain't what they talk about

        At least in New York city
        Ther[A]e's never any doubt

Chorus.

        I'm t[A]oo dumb for New York city
        And too ugly for L[D].A.
