Ooh wah, ooh wah, cool, cool kitty Tell us about the boy from New York City Ooh wah, ooh wah, come on, kitty Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's kind of tall He's really fine Someday, I hope to make him mine, all mine And he's neat And oh, so sweet And just the way he looked at me He swept me off my feet Ooh wee, you ought to come and see How he walks (yeah, yeah) And how he talks (yeah, yeah)
Ooh wah, ooh wah, cool, cool kitty Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's really down And he's no clown He has the finest penthouse I've ever seen in town And he's cute In his mohair suit And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot Ooh wee, say, you ought to come and see His dueling scar His brand new car
Every time he says he loves me Chills run down my spine Every time he wants to kiss me He makes me feel so fine Ooh wah, ooh wah, cool, cool kitty Tell us about the boy from New York City
Well, he can dance And make romance That's when I fell in love With just one glance
He was shy And so was I And now I know I'll never, ever say goodbye Ooh wee, say, you ought to come and see He's my most (yeah, yeah) From coast to coast (yeah, yeah)
Ooh wah, ooh wah, cool, cool kitty Tell us about the boy from New York City Ooh wah, ooh wah, come on, kitty Tell us about the boy from New York City
