U can dance if U want 2 --
All the critics love U in New York
U don't have 2 keep the beat,
they'll still think it's neat -- in New York
U can wear what U want 2, it doesn't matter -- in New York
U could cut off all your hair,
I don't think they'd care -- in New York
All the critics love U in New York
Why U can play what U want 2 --
All the critics love U in New York
They won't say that u're naive
if U play what U believe -- in New York
Purple love-amour is all u're headed 4 --
but don't show it
The reason that you're cool
is 'cuz you're from the old school, and they know it
All the critics love U in New York
U can dance if U want 2 --
All the critics love U in New York
U can dance if U want 2 --
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U, all the critics love U
