Charlotte is sitting by the merry-go-round
She laughs as Roosevelt's invisible horse falls down
She's always faithful but defiant enough to slap you on your knee
I'm heading back to New York City, hoping they will let me be
Willy cries in the basement to himself
Vomiting like John the Baptist into the bathtub
"I guess it's about time to give up, I've had enough" says General Lee
I'm heading back to New York City, hoping they will let me be
Mister Double-You whispers justification in his sleep
While infantile foot-soldiers don't have boots on their feet
Her Majesty orders that her crown be thrust into the sea
I'm heading back to New York City, hoping they will let me be
"I think I might be wrong" Einstein confesses to Saint Pete
Pete replies "Most of the world's still just looking for something to eat"
"I guess they shouldn't spend so much time living up in the trees"
I'm heading back to New York City, hoping they will let me be
If I could buy your sailor back, I'd stick him on a whale
With Jonah nailed to the perpendicular post of the sail
But you were busy sitting with the hatter, slowly sipping your tea
I'm heading back to New York City, hoping they will let me be
