Standing on the corner, just me and yoko ono,
we was waiting for her hour to land,
up come a man with a guitar in his hand,
"have marijuana if you can."
well, his name was david peel
and we found that he was real,
"the pope smokes dope ev'ry day."
up come the police, shoved us off the street,
singing, "power to the people today!"

new york city!
Madison square garden!
Hey!
What's happenin', man?

Went back to kansas city, laid down the nitty gritty
with the elephant's memory band.
Laid something down as the news spread around
about the plastic ono elephant's memory band.
Played some tutti frutti and played some funky boogie,
"long tall sally's a man!"
up come the preacherman, tryin' to be a teacher,
singing, "god's a red herring in drag!"

new york city!
New york city!
New york city!
Que pasa, new york?
Que pasa, new york?

Down in the village!

Ah, what a bad ass city!
