G                           C                    D                G

Oh you New York Girls can’t you dance the polka
When we got down to 14th street we stopped at number four
her mother and her sister came to meet us at the door
And away shanty my dear Annie
Oh you New York Girls can’t you dance the polka
When we got inside the house the drink was handed round
the liquor it came strong and fast me head went round & round
And away shanty my dear Annie
Oh you New York Girls can’t you dance the polka
Break
When I awoke next morning with an achin’ head
I found myself stark naked and all alone in bed
my gold watch and my money and my lady friend were gone
there was I without a stitch or cent to call me own
And away shanty my dear Annie
Oh you New York Girls can’t you dance the polka
Break
Look out all you sailiors and watch your step on shore
you’ll have to get up early to be smarter than that whore
And away shanty my dear Annie
Oh you New York Girls can’t you dance the polka
Your hard earned cash will disappear your hat and boots as well
cause New York girls are tougher than the other side of Hell!
And away shanty my dear Annie
Oh you New York Girls can’t you dance the polka
And away shanty my dear Annie
Oh you New York Girls can’t you dance the polka
Oh you New York, New York Girls
Oh you New York, New York Girls
