New York City Rhythm

-Artist: Barry Manilow as sung on "Greatest Hits" -Arista A2L 8601

-did NOT chart on Billboard

-Words and Music by Marty Panzer and Barry Manilow

(City rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo)

When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (oo)

Bythe love I wish I had

Well, I spend my (city rhythm) nights in the city's lights (oo)

And things don't seem so bad

Ya know the movement seems to soothe me

And the tempo takes control

And I lose my blues

When the New York City rhythm fills my soul

It's the New York City rhythm runnin' though life (city rhythm)

The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive

I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)

I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive

It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life

Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life

(City rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo)

When I'm out (city rhythm) for love or sin (oo)

Oh, it's good to be in town

In the funky (city rhythm) dives on the old west side (oo)

There's always somethin' goin' down

Yes, I live my life with strangers

And the danger's always there

But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play

Ya know that I don't care

It's the New York City rhythm runnin' thru' my life (city rhythm)

The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive

I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)

I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive

It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life

Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life

(City rhythm, oo, city rhythm)

< Latin-style instrumental interlude backed with(Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva

York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva

York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York Ooh!)>

(City rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo) and more scat to end
