Verse 1:
	When i first saw New DYork city
	I was green down to the core
	You could see my red neck glowing
	For a mile or maybe more
	Between the hustlers Aand the hookers
	I must have made their day
	Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
	And sent me on my wayD  
Bridge 1:
	When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged
	It ain't no place to be
	So i came to one conclusion
	New York ainA't for me
Chorus:
	From sea to sDhining sea
	And coast to coast
	Somewhere in the middle
	Is the land i love the most
	I ain't CaliforniAa pretty
	I can't survive the Great White Way
	I'm too dumb for New York city
	And too ugly for L.A.D  
Verse 2:
	I made my way to Tinseltown
	To Hollywood and Vine
	Out among those pretty faces
	I'd surely find a place for mine
	The way i walAk-the way i talk
	They'll hang on every word
	But don't call me,i'll call you
	Was all i ever heardD  
Bridge 2:
	In L.A. what they're thinking
	Ain't what they talk about
	At least in New York city
	There's nevAer any doubt
Chorus.
	I'm too dumb Afor New York city
	And too ugly for L.A.D

Verse 1:

When i first saw New York city

I was green down to the core

You could see my red neck glowing

For a mile or maybe more

Between the hustlers and the hookers

I must have made their day

Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd

And sent me on my way

Bridge 1:

When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

It ain't no place to be

So i came to one conclusion

New York ain't for me

Chorus:

From sea to shining sea

And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land i love the most

I ain't California pretty

I can't survive the Great White Way

I'm too dumb for New York city

And too ugly for L.A.

Verse 2:

I made my way to Tinseltown

To Hollywood and Vine

Out among those pretty faces

I'd surely find a place for mine

The way i walk-the way i talk

They'll hang on every word

But don't call me,i'll call you

Was all i ever heard

Bridge 2:

In L.A. what they're thinking

Ain't what they talk about

At least in New York city

There's never any doubt

Chorus.

I'm too dumb for New York city

And too ugly for L.A.
