Central Give Me New York Town 1908

Oh, I long for you, my New York I do,
I wonder how you are?
I would give a year of my life to hear
The sound of a Broadway car!
Never more will I
Ever say 'goodbye'
When once more I get home,
Oh, I'm feeling so blue
But I know what I'll do
It's me for the telephone!
Hello! Hello! Central! Hello!

Oh, Central give me New York Town
No matter what the cost!
Give me its joys, its noise, its boys,
Without them I am lost!
Connect me with the 'Great White Way'
Don't say the wires are down,
And I'll gaily shout 'Hurray'
Just as soon as I can say:
Hello! Old New York Town!

Oh, Central give me New York Town
No matter what the cost!
Give me its joys, its noise, its boys,
Without them I am lost!
Connect me with the 'Great White Way'
Don't say the wires are down,
And I'll gaily shout 'Hurray'
Just as soon as I can say:
Hello! Old New York Town!

Many months have passed,
since I saw you last,
I miss you more each day;
And when I get home,
Never more I'll roam,
But stick to the 'Great White Way'
Central, are you there?
Give me old 'Times Square'
The only place for mine
Or some Rathskeller bright,
where the boys are tonight,
All drinking a good old stein!
Hello! Hello! Central! Hello!

Oh, Central give me New York Town
No matter what the cost!
Give me its joys, its noise, its boys,
Without them I am lost!
Connect me with the 'Great White Way'
Don't say the wires are down,
And I'll gaily shout 'Hurray'
Just as soon as I can say:
Hello! Old New York Town!

Oh, Central give me New York Town
No matter what the cost!
Give me its joys, its noise, its boys,
Without them I am lost!
Connect me with the 'Great White Way'
Don't say the wires are down,
And I'll gaily shout 'Hurray'
Just as soon as I can say:
Hello! Old New York Town!
