Many years since I was here, on the street I was passin' my time away    To the left and to the right, buildings towering to the sky    It's outta sight in the dead of night    Here I am, and in this city, with a fistful of dollars    And baby, you'd better believe       Chorus:    I'm back, back in the New York Groove    I'm back, back in the New York Groove    I'm back, back in the New York Groove    Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove       In the back of my Cadillac    A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' 'Where are we?'    Stop at Third and Forty-three, exit to the night    It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me       Feels so good tonight, who cares about tomorrow    So baby, you'd better believe       chorus       I'm back, back in the New York Groove (repeats out)
