What More Do I Need?

Lyrics
Once I hated this city Now it can't get me down Slushy, humid and gritty What a pretty Town! What, thought I, could be duller More depressing, less gay? Now my favorite color Is gray! A wall of rain as it turns to sleet The lack of sun On a one- Way street I love the grime all the time And what more do I need? My window pane has a lovely view An inch of sky And a fly Or two Why, I can see Half a tree And what more do I need? The dusk is thick and it's galling It simply can't be excused In winter even the falling Snow looks used My window pane may not give much light But I see you So the view Is bright If I can love you I'll pay the dirt no heed! With your love, what more do I need? Someonе shouting for quiet Someone's starting a brawl Down thе block there's a riot And I'll buy it All! Listen, now I'm ecstatic Hold me close and be still Hear the lovely pneumatic Drill! A subway train thunders through the Bronx A taxi horn On the corner Honks But I adore Every roar And what more Do I need? I hear a crane making street repairs A two-ton child Running wild Upstairs Steam pipes bang Sirens clang And what more do I need? The neighbors yell in the summer The landlord yells in the fall So loud I can't hear the plumber Pound the wall An aeroplane roars across the bay But I can hear You as clear As day You said you love me Above the sound and speed With your love, what more do I need?
