[Chorus 1: Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams]
New York City Boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
When you're a boy
Some days are tough
Lying on your bed
Playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp
You gotta escape
Want to go and wander
In the ticker-tape

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

[Chorus 1: Neil Tennant, Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams]
New York City Boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
The street is amazing
The hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware
At the latest deal
Hear a song
That's the bomb!
If you don't get the mix
It's gone eighty-six

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
You feel the deal is real
You're in New York City

[Chorus 2: Neil Tennant, Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams]
New York City Boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

[Interlude: Neil Tennant]
Then as the evening falls
You can return its calls

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City Boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

[Chorus 1: Neil Tennant]
New York City Boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

[Chorus 2: Neil Tennant, Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams]
New York City Boy (New York City)
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

[Interlude: Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams]
New York City
New York City

[Chorus 1: Neil Tennant, Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams, (Neil Tennant)]
New York City Boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway (You'll never have a bored day)

[Chorus 2: Neil Tennant, Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams, (Neil Tennant)]
New York City Boy (New York City)
This is your reward day (You'll never have a bored day)
'Cause you're a New York City Boy (New York City)
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

[Outro: Neil Tennant, Billy Cliff, John James, Keith Fluitt & Steve Abrams]
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
