Come Up To My Place

Well, my grandpa told me, "Chip, my boy

There'll come a time when you leave home

If you should ever hit New York, be sure to see the Hippodrome"

Did I hear right, did you say the Hippodrome?

Yes, you heard right, yes, I said the Hipp

Hey, what did you stop for?

It ain't there anymore

They tore it down, you know, a dozen years ago

My grandpa saw the girly show

And told me of one special pearl

He said the hottest show in town was called the Floradora Girl

Did I dig that, was that Floradora girl?

Yes, you dug that, that was Florador

What stop for, did you, hey?

You may not be that way

That famous girly show closed forty years ago

Come up to my place (No)

My grandpa said,"I've seen New York

In all it's beauty and it's power

From the city's highest spot

Atop the famous Woolworth Tower"

Hold up Bozo, did you say the Woolworth Tower?

I'm still ringing, yes I said the Wool

Did you stop for, hey, what?

That ain't the highest spot

Does that old guidebook say they built the Empire State?

Come up to my place

Let's go to Cleopatra's Needle

Let's go to my place

Let's go to my place

Let's go to Lindy's, go to Lucha's
