lyrics
After all these years to strike New York in braids.
It's an instant education all class and no grades.
Buildings everywhere a million stories high,
clothes hanging in the breeze, children rolling by,
And the noise, good God, you can see the noise.
After all these years to have you here with me,
Two girls from Maine, in the center of everything.
Windows everywhere, billboards way up high,
Smokestacks up above belching to the sky,
And the noise, good God, can you see the noise?
It takes some getting used to, all this excess profanity.
Welcome to Bohemia, here girls drink for free.
It's true there isn't quite enough to go around
But we'll make it through alright, you know I own this town
And the boys, oh God have you seen the boys?
It's an instant education all class and no grades.
Buildings everywhere a million stories high,
clothes hanging in the breeze, children rolling by,
And the noise, good God, you can see the noise.
After all these years to have you here with me,
Two girls from Maine, in the center of everything.
Windows everywhere, billboards way up high,
Smokestacks up above belching to the sky,
And the noise, good God, can you see the noise?
It takes some getting used to, all this excess profanity.
Welcome to Bohemia, here girls drink for free.
It's true there isn't quite enough to go around
But we'll make it through alright, you know I own this town
And the boys, oh God have you seen the boys?
