Anything Can Happen in New York lyrics

Hey, Hey!
 
New York, New York - fascinating city!
Magic castles rising in the air!
Wall Street, Broadway, guys are sittin' pretty!
Every window hides a millionaire!
 
So when defeaters hollar there's no chance
Just tell them this, but with a dirty glance:
 
Once Mr. Woolworth didn't have a dime
And Irving Berlin didn't have a rhyme
And Thomas Dewey didn't have a crime
But anything can happen in New York!
 
Once Rockefeller didn't have that oil
And Tiffany, he didn't have a poil [pearl]
And Ziegfeld didn't even have a goil [girl]
But anything can happen in New York!
 
You too can be that big ball of fire
You too can have your name in Who's Who
You too can climb up higher and higher
Until you reach that rainbow room!
 
The Wall Street bankers didn't have a trust
The Automatic didn't have a crust
The Hall of Fame, it didn't have a bust
But even you can be one in New York
Yes, sir, you can be one in New York!
 
You too can be that big ball of fire
You too can start from scratch and get rich
You too can climb up higher and higher
Like Lord and Taylor, Fun with Teller
Gimbel, Macy, Rockefeller
You can even be a Abercrombie Fitch!
 
Once Mr. Morgan didn't have a yaht
And Joe DiMaggio didn't have a spot
The pot of gold didn't have a pot!
But anything can happen in New-
We don't mean innuendo-
We mean only in New York!
