Standing on the corner. Just me and Yoko Ono. We was waiting for Jerry to land. Up come a man with a guitar in his hand. Singing "Have a marijuana if you can". His name was David Peel. And we found that he was real. He sang "The Pope smokes dope every day". Up come a policeman shoved us up the street. Singing "Power to the people today!". New York City... New York City... New York City. Que pasa New York?. Que pasa New York?. Well down to Max's Kansas City. Got down the nitty gritty. With the Elephants Memory Band. Laid something down. As the news spread around. About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band!. And we played some funky boogie. And laid some tutti frutti. Singing "Long Tall Sally's a man.". Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacher. Singing "God's a red herring in drag!". New York City... New York City... New York City. Que pasa New York?. Que pasa New York?. New York City... New York City... New York City. Que pasa New York?. Que pasa New York?. Well we did the Staten Island Ferry. Making movies for the telly. Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom. Tried to shake our image. Just a cycling through the Village. But found that we had left it back in London. Well nobody came to bug us. Hustle us or shove us. So we decided to make it our home. If the Man wants to shove us out. We gonna jump and shout. The Statue of Liberty said "Come!". New York City... New York City... New York City. Que pasa New York?. Que pasa New York?. New York City... back in New York City... New York City. Que pasa New York?. Que pasa New York?
