City Kids Songtext
von Karina Rykman

City kids don′t walk on grass oh no
They walk so fast oh yeah
I see ya, I see ya and you're barefoot on the lawn
How can we get along?
We can′t
I tried to learn suburban things
But pumpin gas is not for me

Maybe it's time to cut the kids a break
Maybe we'll eat some cake
And spin around in circles till we think we′re gonna die
I swear I′m an okay guy
I think!
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make it sink

City kids don't walk on grass oh no
Ayye ayye ayye woooh


Yeah, I never learned to camp
Can′t even pitch a tent
I've been jumping turnstyles hailing taxis with intent
Do you need directions
I bet
It′s not where you're from but it′s where I'm at

City kids don't walk on grass oh no
Ayye ayye ayye woooh

Hey Karina, help me rake these leaves
What leaves? I don′t do leaves
Theres no leaves
Hey Karina can you help me with this spider over here?
There′s no spider
No-no-no-no-no absolutely not
I don't kill my own spiders
How bout a slice? You guys want pizza? Bagel? Everything?

City Kids don′t walk on grass
I'm from Manhattan
I was walking down Park Avenue
Lady had twelve chinchillas on a leash
I once went sky-diving with David Byrne
I didn′t even get a picture

City kids don't walk on grass oh no
City kids don′t walk on grass
Aawww ya!
