I was sleeping, gently napping
   when I heard the phone
   Who is on the other end talking
   am I even home
   Did you see what she did to him
   did you hear what they said
   Just a New York conversation
   rattling in my head
   Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear
   Oh, oh, my, and who really cares
   Just a New York conversation
   gossip all of the time
   Did you hear who did what to whom
   happens all the time
   Who has touched and who has dabbled
   here in the city of shows
   Openings, closings, bad repartee
   everybody knows
   Oh, how sad and why do we call
   Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all
   I am calling, yes I am calling
   just to speak to you
   For I know this night will kill me
   if I can't be with you
If I can't be with you
