Men punching women in New York City
Could they be more cowardly?
What kind of fiend does it take to strike
A lovely woman walking down a street.
We’re a far cry from gallant chivalry
When rarer for a man to attack a women
On the streets of New York City.
And what has happened to Gotham City
With all its crime and craziness?
How I miss the days when New York
Was immortalized in songs.
Now the only song that immortalizes it
Is a funeral dirge because the great
New York I knew has died.
Bob Boyd
