about

Frank: That’s me, a native New Yorker. Brooklyn to be exact. Writing this one I tried to give the feel of life in the city on a typical day. My hometown and proud of it!!

lyrics

I’m Just A Native New Yorker

Stickball, handball, hoops downtown
We play it til the sun goes down
Hop a bus, ride the trains
Long hot summers in crowded lanes

I’m just a native New Yorker
Got my opinions, I’m a practical joker
Don’t look at me like I’m from outer space
Proud that I can call it my place

Hustle bustle twenty four seven
Call me crazy but I call it heaven
Keep on movin’ or get out of the way
A sea of heroes at work and at play

I’m just a native New Yorker
Got my opinions, I’m a practical joker
Don’t look at me like I’m from outer space
Proud that I can call it my place

At times it’s not pretty
But I sure love this city
Got places and streets to roam
Neon lights, Broadway shows
Rich and famous, average joes
New York City, welcome to my home

I’m just a native New Yorker
Got my opinions, I’m a practical joker
Don’t look at me like I’m from outer space
Proud that I can call it my place
