They know not if it's dark outside or light
This broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in

Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in new york city
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the lord for the people I have found
I thank the lord for the people I have found
