Waitin’ for New York City to come straight down to me
Waitin’ for my baby to show up today
Waitin’ for her pretty face to brighten up my world
Waitin’ is all I do but it sure beats going home
Well I’ve been waitin’ till I’m blue for her hop skip jump home
Waitin’ for my baby to come back from where she roams
Well I’ve been waitin’, girl, just for you and your little dog, too
Watin’ is all I do but it’s always something new
See the fire, feel the ire, be a luminary
Keep on working in Manhattan even when it’s scary
I’ve been waitin’, New York City, it’s raining in the desert
Clouds and lightning hide the starlight, be a luminary
We’ve been waitin’ in this desert for that big bright sunshine
Waitin’ all together and now it’s almost time
Waitin’, one, two, three, for that Trinity
“Needing danger to be good"; "Bones to philosophy”!
Waitin’ till we’re blue, waitin’ is all we do
Waitin’ for that bomb to make a big bang boom
