With no apologies

Start spreading the news,
Were shirking today.
We want to have no part of it -
New York, New York.

These conservative beefs
Have forced us to say
We really want no part of it
New York, New York.

They’ll hold court in a city,
That’s so far away
So news crews and limos-ah
Won’t clog our streets.

Our al Queda blues
Have scared us today
We’ll put a halt to any hint of it,
In scared New York.
So you can’t hold it here,
Just hold court anywhere
Instead of in
New York, New York.

New York, New York!

They’ll hold court in a city,
That’s so far away
To show we’re lowly and mean,
Back of the class,
Masses of rats
Just dung in the heap.

Our al Queda blues
Have scared us today
We’re gonna make damn sure that trial ain’t held
In scared New York.
So you can’t hold it here,
Just hold court anywhere
Stay out means you,
New York, New York.
