Lyrics
My father told me, "Chip, my boy There'll come a time when you leave home If you should ever hit New York Be sure to see the Hippodrome" [HILDY]: The Hippodrome? The Hippodrome Did I hear right? Did you say the Hippodrome? Yes, you heard right Yes, I said the Hip— Hey, what did you stop for? It ain't there anymore Aida sang an "A" And blew the place away! Aw, I wanted to see the Hippodrome! Give me a chance, kid. I may not have fivе thousand seats, but the one I havе is a honey! Come up to my place! Oh no, lady; the Forrest Theatre. (sung) When I was home I saw the plays The Ladies' Drama Circle showed Now I am here, I want to get Some tickets for "Tobacco Road" "Tobacco Road?" "Tobacco Road" Did I dig that? "Did you say Tobacco Road?" Yes, you dug that Yes, I said "Tobac—" Hey, what for did you stop? That show has closed up shop The actors washed their feet And called it "Angel Street" Aw, I wanted to see "Tobacco Road." Stick with me, kid, and I'll show you the road to ruin. Come on up to my place! Oh, no, Battery Park. (sung) Back home I dreamt of catching fish So big I couldn't carry 'em They told me that they have my size Right here in the Aquarium Aquarium? Aquarium Hold the phone, Joe Did you say Aquarium? I'm still ringing But I said Aquar— Did you stop for what, hey? The fish have flown away They're in the Bronx instead They might as well be dead! (spoken) Come up to my place. No, Chambers Street. (sung) They told me I could see New York In all its spreading strength and power From the city's highest spot Atop the famous Woolworth Tower The Woolworth Tower? The Woolworth Tower Beat me, Daddy Did you say the Woolworth Tower? I won't beat you But I said the Wool— Did you stop for hey, what? That ain't the highest spot You're just a little late We got the Empire State! Let's go to my place! Let's go to Cleopatra's Needle Let's go to my place! Let's see Wanamaker's Store Let's go to my place! Let's go to Lindy's, go to Luchow's Go to my place! Let's see Radio City and Herald Square Let's go to my place! Go to Reuben's! Go to my place! Go to Macy's! Go to my place! To the Roxy! Go to my place! Cloisters! My place! Gimbel's! My place! Flatiron My place! Building! My place! Hippodrome! My place!
