I wouldnt trade you for the whole big apple,
The great white way, first base at Shea,
I wouldnt swap you for the citys keys,
Or all that stuff at Tiffanys,
I wouldnt trade you for the whole big apple,
To play the palace, the Met with Callas,
Not even for the Rockefeller tree,
Or corned beef at the Carnegie,
Who needs breakfast after dark,
Or counting stars in Central Park,
The glamour, the grammar all leave me cold,
But you keep me warm as I grow old,
I wouldnt trade you for the whole big apple,
The Circle Line, Le Cirque at nine,
Not for a penthouse on Park Avenue,
I wouldnt trade you,
Who needs breakfast after dark,
Or counting stars in Central Park,
The glamour, the grammar all leave me cold,
But you keep me warm as I grow old,
I wouldnt trade you for the whole big apple,
A plaza suite, Gene Kellys feet,
No deal on Wallstreet could change my view,
Dow Jones and me are through,
I wouldnt trade you.
