Better than you!
One minute I'm in central park
Then I'm in Delancey Street
I'm the Bow'ry to St Mark
There's a syncopated beat!
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!
I'm streetwise!
I can improvise!
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!
I'm streetsmart!
I've got New York City heart!
Why should I worry?
Why should I ca-a-a-re?
I may not have dime,
but I've got street saviore faire!
Why should I worry?
Why should I ca-a-a-re?
It's just a bebopulation!
I've got street saviore faire!
Rhythm of the city!
But once you get it down,
Then you can own this town!
YOU CAN WEAR THE CRO-OW-OW-N!
Why should I worry?
Why should I ca-a-a-re?
I may not have a dime,
But I've got street saviore faire!
Why should I worry?
Why should I ca-a-a-re?
It's just a doopulation!
I've got street saviore faire!
Ev'rything goes!
Ev'rything fits!
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz!
Why should I worry?
Why should I ca-a-a-re?
Even when I cross that line,
I've got street saviore faire!
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo whoo! [Repeated]
