lyrics

Walking over Brooklyn bridge
How many times have I
Climbed that wooden boardwalk
that reaches towards the sky

First with an old flame
with the name of a state
Kissing in a rainstorm
On our very first date

It’s hard not to love New York City from this height
It’s hard not to love New York City from this sight
It’s hard not to love New York City sometimes
Cause it’s hard enough to love New York City

From up here I can
my many years as a New Yorker
different incarnations
all blurred together

the river and ocean
even the sky scrapers
far reaches of Manhattan
look small and familiar

It’s hard not to love New York City from this height
It’s hard not to love New York City from this sight
It’s hard not to love New York City sometimes
Cause it’s hard enough to love New York City

Bob, who is this “Walt” you speak of?
Do you have a dog named Walter too?
Is your Walt funny shaped with little legs,
And the last name Peanuts?

It’s hard not to love New York City from this height
It’s hard not to love New York City from this sight
It’s hard not to love New York City sometimes
Cause it’s hard enough to love New York City

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
