[Verse 1]
Tom, get your plane right on time
I know your part'll go fine
Fly down to Mexico
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
The only living boy in New York
[Verse 2]
I get the news I need on the weather report
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report
Hey, I've got nothing to do today
But smile, doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
The only living boy in New York
[Bridge]
Half of the time we're gone
But we don't know where
And we don't know where
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Here I am
[Bridge]
Half of the time we're gone
But we don't know where
And we don't know where
[Verse 3]
Tom, get your plane right on time
I know you've been eager to fly now
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine now
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York
The only living boy in New York
[Pre-Chorus]
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Here I am
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Here I am
Tom, get your plane right on time
I know your part'll go fine
Fly down to Mexico
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
The only living boy in New York
[Verse 2]
I get the news I need on the weather report
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report
Hey, I've got nothing to do today
But smile, doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
The only living boy in New York
[Bridge]
Half of the time we're gone
But we don't know where
And we don't know where
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Here I am
[Bridge]
Half of the time we're gone
But we don't know where
And we don't know where
[Verse 3]
Tom, get your plane right on time
I know you've been eager to fly now
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine now
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York
The only living boy in New York
[Pre-Chorus]
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
Doh-n-doo-doh-doo-doh-doo-doh
And here I am
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Here I am
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Here I am
