Third floor musician
Practicin’ all day
Just a poor artist
Got some bills to pay
And second floor’s complainin’
‘Cause of the lough sound
Yellin’ at the player
To turn that damn stuff down
And the first floor manager
He is stoned again
So many problems on his watch
Don’t know where to begin

But the big city is a hummin’
Vibratin’ the warn air
People movin’ ‘round
Goin’ who knows where
Some walkin’ uptown
Others headin’ down
Some off to meetings
Most wearin’ a frown
Ya, most wearin’ a frown

Delivery trucks double parked
It’s a petty sin
They’ll drive to their next stop
Then double park again
And taxi’s horns a hookin’
Cause the traffic it won’t go
Wants to make another fare
He’s movin’ way too slow
Delivery boy a racin’
While the food’s still hot
Bike weavin’ through the cars
And that’s time he ain’t got

But the big city is a hummin’
Vibratin’ the warn air
People movin’ ‘round
Goin’ who knows where
Some walkin’ uptown
Others headin’ down
Some off to meetings
Most wearin’ a frown

Ya, most wearin’ a frown

Teenager with a happy step
Headin’ for a date
Off to a new adventure
Don’t want to be late
A professional lady’s
Dressed to the nines
Balanced on Stiletto heels
She doesn’t have much time
Old timers movin’ slow
Givin’ me a gaze
They’ve been this way before
They’ve seen better days

In the big city is a hummin’
Vibratin’ the warn air
People movin’ ‘round
Goin’ who knows where
Some walkin’ uptown
Others headin’ down
Some off to meetings
Most wearin’ a frown
Ya, most wearin’ a frown
Most wearin’ a frown
