E Standing on the corner, just me and Yoko Ono B We was waiting for Jerry to land B Up come a man with a guitar in his hand E Singing "have a marijuana if you can" A His name was David Peel, we found that he was real A He sang "The Pope Smokes Dope Everyday" A Up come the policeman shoved us up the street B Singin "Power to the People today!"
[Chorus]
A New York City E New York City A New York City D Que pasa New York A Que pasa New York, hey hey
[Verse 2]
E Well down to Max's City B Put down the nitty gritty with the Elephants Memory Band B Laid something down as the news spread around E About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band! A Played some funky boogie and laid some "Tutti Frutti" A Singing "Long Tall Sally's a man" A Up come a preacher man trying to be a teacher B Singing "God's a red herring in drag!"
[Chorus]
A New York City E New York City A New York City D Que pasa New York D Que pasa New York, hey hey

[Verse 3]
E Well we did the Staten Island Ferry E Making movies for the telly B Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom B Tried to shake our image B Just a cycling through the Village E But found that we had left it back in London A Well nobody came to bug us, hustle us or shove us A We decided to make it our home A If the man wants to shove us out A We gonna jump and shout B The Statue of Liberty said "Come!"
[Chorus]
A New York City E New York City A New York City D Que pasa New York D D Que pasa New York, hey hey
