old man in new york - michael cook lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m a smilin’ face as i hum a little ditty
i’m looking around i’m in new york city
i’m in central park and it looks so pretty
on a golden autumn day
and i see an old man on the park bench sittin’
and he’s staring at me and he just ain’t quitin’
so i sit down next to him and i’m thinkin’
just what has he got to say
yeah what does he got to say

[chorus]
and he said sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
and i said what in the world are you tryin’ to say
i can’t understand those sounds you make
and i think i’m gonna walk away
yeah i think i’m gonna walk away

[verse 2]
and i think to myself this guy is crazy
he’s probably drunk and he’s probably lazy
but i’ll ask again what do you say me?
and he said to me the same old thing
yeah he said to me the same old thing

[chorus]
and he said sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
and i said what in the world are you tryin’ to say
i can’t understand those sounds you make
and i think i’m gonna walk away
and he said sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
and i said what in the world are you tryin’ to say
i can’t understand those sounds you make
and i think i’m gonna walk away
yeah i think i’m gonna walk away
[verse 3]
and i turned around just as i was leavin’
i looked at him and his eyes were leakin’
and he looked sad, yeah the tears were streamin’
and the thought occurred to me
that he needs love like a newborn baby
like a poor lost soul, like a widowed lady
so i sat down once again thinking maybe
this time i would hear him say
that i might hear him when he’d say

[chorus]
when he’d say sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
i said i think i understand what you’re trying to say
you can’t see the point in another day
when everybody just walks away
when he’d say sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
i said i think i understand what you’re trying to say
you can’t see the point in another day
when everybody just walks away
yeah, when everybody just walks away

[verse 4]
so i’ll listen even though you make no sense
and we’ll stay together ‘til our time is spent
and you can sha*na*na*na ‘til your heart’s content
cause i know that it’s a better way
yeah, and i’m learning how to love each day
and we can give ourselves away
yeah yeah yeah
[outro]
and we sang sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay yeah, yeah, yeah
sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay
sha*na*na*na*na*na*na*nay yeah, yeah, yeah
