through The Night I Gambled i Played A Real Cool Hand people Still Remember they Say 'there Goes That Man' 'who Always Found Four Aces' lady Luck Was Mine 'cos I Fought And Won Life's Battles and I Made It Just In Time
'come On Make Up The Number' that's All They Had To Say 'we'll Take Him For A Ride' it Made Me Wanna Stay well I Taught Them A Lesson to Stop Them Foolin' Round the Crowd, They Really Gathered to See Me Break 'em Down
chorus new York City, She's A Friend Of Mine new York City, She's A Friend Of Mine people Think I Cheat And Lie but I Don't Really Care 'cos In New York City Now people Never Stare
well I Taught Them A Lesson to Stop Them Foolin' Round the Crowd, They Really Gathered to See Me Break 'em Down
