Remembering Forgotten Songs
Marshall Crenshaw - Rockin' Around In NYC
Today's Lost Music is Rockin' Around In NYC by Marshall Crenshaw which appeared on his first album in 1982. In 1976, I had moved to Long Island around then and time went on I began spending a real lot of time in NYC. Whenever I get nostalgic and look back on all the fun I had in NYC I am immediately reminded of this great song by Marshall Crenshaw. "Round and 'round and 'round we go, Seventeen lights in a row, Take a hold of my hand and come with me, Let's go rockin' around in NYC!"
Rockin' Around In NYC
Whenever idleness is making me insane
Then I feel, I should be getting to train on the double
Here comes trouble
I hit the city and my head is a reelin'
I get the feelin' that it really was worth going after
When we're tastin' disaster
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go rockin' around in NYC
Whenever Ennui is takin' me way down
Then I feel I should be gettin' to town on the double
Here comes trouble
I hit the city and I'm feelin' the thunder
No need to wonder if it really was worth going after
When we're tastin' disaster
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go 'round and 'round in NYC
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go rockin' around in NYC
Whenever idleness is making me insane
Then I feel, I should be getting the train on the double
Here comes trouble
I hit the city and my head is reelin'
I get the feelin' that it really was worth going after
When we're tastin' disaster
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
Let's go rockin' around in NYC
