Waking Up In The City Lyrics

Waking up in the city

What are we gonna do

Take a picture to the park

Sing songs about the moon

I will bring the frisbee

I will bring the dog

We'll frolic in the pesticided grass beneath the smog

Don't gotta worry 'bout bee stings

Don't gotta worry 'bout ants

Now's the time to take off our shoes

And dance that cartoon dance

In the afternoon time

We will stroll downtown

Past messengers on bicycles

And men dressed up in gowns

If we should get tired, let's just take the bus

I hope that it's not crowded so we can sit up front

I can't even see them scrape the sky

Blurring the fashions whizzing by



Sun gets down in the evening

Lights start flashing on

The city swells with energy

The nightlife has begun

Kustle and bustle

So many sites to see

Endless excitement

Keeps me up 'till three

Don't wanna go to the movies

Who wants to sit inside

I didn't get on the guest list

Don't want to wait in line



Let's go eat pierogis at my favorite cafe

The waitress are grumpy and

Their English ain't so great

We'll talk ourselves in circles

Til the pancakes are all gone

Today's become tomorrow

I can see the pink of dawn

Oh, I'm getting tired, I'm oh so tired

I think it's time to retire

Time for bed

To rest my sleepy head
