In the movie On the Town, three sailors are on liberty in New York City and they sing:

New York, New York, a wonderful town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.
New York, New York, it's a wonderful town!

But the next time Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jule Munshen sing the verse they say:

New York, New York, a visitor's place,
Where no one lives on account of the pace,
But seven millions are screaming for space.
New York, New York, it's a visitor's place!

I am glad I was just a visitor in New York! I had a great visit. But I like Boston better and I love coming home to New Hampshire!
