Hey, hey, honey, what's on your mind.
Well, you said that sleepin' with a poor band's
not your style. Ain't that just a little unkind?
Hey, Marlon Brando,
what would you do in a spot like this?
I don't play as your pawn tonight,
doin' the New York Hustle with a hundred dollar miss.
Summer night in the city,
New York girls, they always make you feel so fine.
There's music, and I can always hear it playin'.
New York nights and there's music in the streets.
(Try'n' to catch a cab in New Your City)
(New York girls are, oh, so pretty)
(Try'n' to catch a cab in New Your City)
(New York girls make you feel so fine)
(Try'n' to catch a cab in New Your City)
(New York girls are, oh, so pretty)
(Try'n' to catch a cab in New Your City)
(and there's music in the streets)
A-doin' the Eight Avenue shuffle on a Friday afternoon,
with the hum of a thousand engines
singin' that old familiar tune.
And, now, yakety yak and don't talk back
when a guy lay me down with my Pontiac.
Tell those high school queens of mine
that the prom was for your monkey shine.
Summer night in the city,
New York girls, they always make you feel so fine.
There's music, and I can always hear it playin'.
New York nights and there's music in the streets.
Another night, another town,
I'm out on the road and there's no one around
and it's rainin', yeah, it's rainin'.
Silence is all around; it's cold and lonely
oh darlin', if only I could feel it.
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oooh, can you feel it?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oooh, can you feel it?
Ooh.
Doin' the Eight Avenue shuffle on a Friday afternoon,
with the hum of a thousand engines
singin' that old familiar tune.
Hey, Marlon Brando, you'll agree it feels so fine,
doin' the New York Hustle,
these girls are doin' the monkey shine.
Summer night in the city,
New York girls, they always make you feel so fine.
There's music, and I can always hear it playin'.
New York nights and there's music in the streets

The Doobie Brothers sono un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi a San Jose, in California, nel 1969. Il loro sound, inizialmente definibile come rock con influenze blues e country, ha poi abbracciato elementi di soft rock e pop negli anni '70. Il nome del gruppo deriva da un termine slang per indicare la marijuana. La formazione originale comprendeva Tom Johnston (chitarra, voce), John Hartman (batteria) e altri musicisti che si sono aggiunti nel corso degli anni. Tra i membri più noti figurano anche Patrick Simmons (chitarra, voce), Michael McDonald (tastiere, voce) e Keith Knudsen (batteria). I Doobie Brothers hanno raggiunto il successo internazionale con album come "Toulouse Street" (1972), "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" (1973) e "Takin' It to the Streets" (1976). I loro brani più famosi includono "Listen to the Music", "Black Water", "China Grove", "Long Train Runnin'", e "What a Fool Believes". La band ha vinto quattro Grammy Award e ha venduto oltre 48 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo.
