[Intro] Tap the card, catch the train Jersey side, then cross again [Verse 1] Corner-store coffee, sun on the glass Quick little steps as the buses roll past From Hoboken ferries to Brooklyn-bound rides We’ve got both shores and the whole day wide [Pre-Chorus] You pick the block, I’ll pick the view Salt in the breeze, bright avenue [Chorus] New York, New Jersey, hands up, come through Boardwalk breeze and a skyline view Short-step, big grin, let the good day run Two sides of the river, one whole lot of fun [Verse 2] Tiny birds lift over rooftops and glide We grab a slice, take the long way outside The PATH train hums and the shop signs flash Then we’re down by the water, kicking off fast [Rap Verse] Quick turn, cross town, meet me by the gate Jersey got the view, New York got the pace Ferry in the distance, boardwalk in the plan One more stop, one more friend, everybody can [Chorus] New York, New Jersey, hands up, come through Boardwalk breeze and a skyline view Short-step, big grin, let the good day run Two sides of the river, one whole lot of fun [Flute Solo] [Instrumental: playful staccato flute solo over clipped pop drums and bright mallet hits] [Percussion Solo] [Instrumental: nimble hand percussion and crisp metallic taps, brief punchy breaks] [Combined Solo] [Instrumental: flute and percussion trade short phrases, then play together over guitar chops] [Bridge] Take it easy, lean into the breeze Watch the boats slip by with the city at ease Then you laugh, and the whole block moves Back in a flash with a brand-new groove [Final Chorus] New York, New Jersey, hands up, come through Boardwalk breeze and a skyline view Short-step, big grin, let the good day run Two sides of the river, one whole lot of fun New York, New Jersey, stay out till the sun Two sides of the river, one whole lot of fun [Outro] Jersey side, New York too One more ride, one more view
