On Canal street in April when its 60 and the snow is melting fast
it's still shady in the morning when you're laughing in your t-shirt running past
In Tompkins Square Park, a couple is meeting
say what you want but I feel my heart beating
cause I love springtime in New York,
springtime in New York I do
Springtime in New York when it's May and the leaves are on the trees
when demolishing a building brings the smell of 1890 to the breeze
on first avenue our couple is fighting
springtime is wild, New York is exciting
and I love springtime in New York,
springtime in New York I do
well springtime in New York, in thirty days will come the sticky summer nights
and if you've been in New York city in July you know when I say sticky I'm right
on first avenue our couple is breaking up
evicted too, the lame must be shaken up
but I love springtime in New York,
springtime in New York I do
springtime in New York,
springtime in New York I do
