The Sound of the City Songtext
von Village People

Listen to the sound of the city
Listen to the sound of my town
New York is the city of cities
New York is still wearing the crown

Listen to the sound of the city
Listen to the people I love
Everyone is speaking your language
New York speaks in your native tongue

New York (New York)
We′re skatin' down Broadway
At midnight or midday
We do our own thing

New York (New York)
A city with gusto
New York is a big show
It′s what's happening


Listen to the sound of the city
Listen to the cabs on the street
New York is the fans of the Yankees
New York is a cop on a beat

Listen to the sound of the city
Listen to the steeple bells chime
New York is a city of magic
New York is a hip state of mind

New York (New York)
The city of nightlife
The city of bright lights
We're doin′ our part

New York (New York)
The city of fashion
The city of passion
This town has a heart

Listen to the sound of the city
New York is the pulse of the world
New York is the Mecca that′s Broadway
New York is the style on a girl


Listen to the sound of the city
Listen to the sound of my town
You can take a ride on the tramway
Hold your breath while you're comin′ down

New York (New York)
Perpetual motion
From ocean to ocean
There's none to compare

New York (New York)
The parks and the playgrounds
New York is the sweet sound
Of children at play

Listen to the sound of the city
New York after dark is alive
Uptown in the Bronx or in Harlem
New York is a city with pride

Listen to the sound of the city
New York is both future and past
New York is the city of music
New York is the city with class

Listen to the sound of the city
Listen to the sound of my town
New York is the city of cities
New York is still wearing the crown

Listen to the sound of the city
Listen to the people I love
Everyone is speaking your language
New York speaks in your native tongue
