You say the city has changed well maybe it's true
Y'say everything moves too fast down the avenue
Y'say you just don't get that thrill tea for two
Y'say the city has changed well maybe it's you
You been east side, west side up and down, all around the town
Stomped through your old stomping grounds, cracked open your old crown
Y'say the sidewalks are made of concrete, 'stead of mountain dew
Y'say the city has changed well maybe it's you
Small-town boy you always thought you were a big-town man
Maybe your orchestra is just a ragtime band
Y'say the city looks different it's somehow lost its charm
Fire engine fly by with its annoying alarm
Did the angels ever really look this sad and blue
Y'say the city has changed well maybe it's you
