[00:00.87]I Happen To Like New York
[00:00.87](From The New Yorkers)
[00:00.87](Live At The Carlyle) - Bobby Short
[00:07.22]I happen to like New York
[00:10.87]I happen to love this town
[00:14.47]I like the city air
[00:15.83]I like to drink of it
[00:18.29]The more I see New York
[00:19.49]The more I think of it
[00:21.27]I like the sight and the sound
[00:22.80]And even the stink of it
[00:24.98]I happen to like New York
[00:28.58]I like to go to Battery Park
[00:31.77]And watch the liners booming in
[00:35.14]I often ask myself
[00:36.19]Why should it be
[00:38.34]That they come
[00:38.91]So far across the sea
[00:42.03]I suppose it's
[00:42.84]Because they all agree with me
[00:45.78]They happen to like New York
[00:49.45]Last Sunday afternoon
[00:53.34]I took a trip to Hackensack
[00:56.38]But after I gave Hackensack
[00:58.34]The once over
[01:00.06]I took the next train back
[01:04.08]I happen to like New York
[01:07.77]I happen to love this burg
[01:11.03]And when I have to
[01:12.00]Give the world my last farewell
[01:13.56]And the undertaker comes to
[01:15.35]Ring my funeral bell
[01:17.70]I don't want to go ahead again
[01:19.68]Don't want to go ahead
[01:21.48]I happen to like New York
[01:24.86]I happen to like New York
