Standing on the street, First time in this town, Though I’ve seen it on film and TV, I’ve always wanted to walk through New York City A hot dog and cash change hands, $4, with mustard and ketchup, I’m having both, Another $2 for my can of coke I see the Woolworth building and theContinue reading “The Street I First Saw You”
