almost half the people in manhattan

almost half the people
in manhattan
live alone
that means no one's there
to greet them
when they come home
which means that manhattan's 
the place for me
'cause alone is all I want to be
all the statistics 
and college degrees
have shown
almost half the people 
in manhattan 
live alone

oh, just imagine
the life in manhattan
I'd lead
I hear in manhattan
bike messengers
deliver weed
(yes indeed)
there's lots of great plays
on off-broadway to see
and I'll just buy one ticket
'cause it's only me
no one will care
if I wear
inexpensive cologne
'cause half the people
in manhattan live alone

          the other half has problems
          I'll never have to face
