(Spoken) All right, let's do the New York Shuffle (over D) 

A D A D A D  

D A  
Manhattan baby with a sing song voice  
G D 
She got her place in the human zoo 
D A 
I went to living on the boulevard  
G A 
Now that the revolution's due  
G A 
She said I've been around from town to town  
G A 
And I learned to love and hate 
G A 
But time don't change not a unique game,  
G A D 
They just keep herding through that gate 

D A 
And do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle,  
G D 
Going to stay awake all night  
D A  
Do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle,  
G A D D A D 
Get yourself uptight, get uptight 

Stick around kids you're going to see some action  
Better shoot them in the street 
Grab a gun before the police come,  
Don't tell me you're too sweet 
Down in the alley they are hitting harder  
Not as blown as a ball can be 
They're burnin flags here and just in drag here 
It sure is a sight to see 

REPEAT Chorus 

BRIDGE 
Bm E Bm E 
Mister Mayor give the key, let me lock you up 
Bm E G A 
Throw that key down the deepest subway in New York, New York 

Instrumental VERSE (2 lines end on D) 

Ah primal scream I had electric dream  
I had to bang my head against the ground 
I have to get out quick before I get as sick  
As the people living in this town 
Bounce me off the pavement bounce me off the wall 
Bounce me off a taxi car 
Give me a shot of that old Jack Daniels  
And put me down in bars 

REPEAT Chorus twice then  
Down in New York City, get upight 
Down in New York Cbaby, get uptight 
Tight tight tight tight tight get uptight 
Tight tight tight tight tight get uptight
