Bayonne Blues (Live) - Janis Ian

Lyrics by：Janis Ian

Composed by：Janis Ian

I was raised in New York

City where the money grows on trees

And the flowers all look gritty

And the people look diseased

Come up from New Jersey where

I sung the Bayonne blues

I watched the roller derby on

The seven-thirty news

I thought I'd be a folksinger

I went down to MacDougal Street

And Bleecker where the stars got stoned

But the union hall was closed

And the stars out on the road

Making money singing anti-money songs

So went back up to Broadway I took the IRT

Some old man in a raincoat

Parked his body next to me

Do you want to make some money fast

And then he grabbed me by the a*s

I got derailed at forty-second street

I asked some lady for the time

She asked me to her room

She said I've got a water bed

I said I've got the flu

You look just like a friend of mine

I never liked too well

She sold picture postcards

Of the crack in the Liberty Bell

So when you to Burgerking

To get myself some lunch

They rushed me to the hospital

To have my stomach pumped

Run over on the corner by

A wheelchair with no horn

I fell into a manhole and was baptized and reborn

Well I'm moved out to long island

Bought a color TV

I watch the doctor shows

I'm a soap opera queen

I think I got pneumonia

I'm sure I've got TB

It may not be a hell of a life

But it's life enough for me
