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 
You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you. 
You've 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 
You 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 rag-time band 
You 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? 
You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you.
