Now its always once upon a time,In New York City
Its a big old battle, Tough old town, its true
But beginnings are contagious there,Always setting stages there
They're always turning pages there for you
And it great the way it all begins, In New York City

Right away, you're making time, and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out, you're on your way,
To a Once Upon that never ends

So Oliver, don't be shy
Go out there and go and try
Believin' that you're the guy,
They're dying to see
Cause a dream's no crime
Not once upon a time,
Once upon a time in New York City

If its always once upon a time in New York City,
Why does night fall leave you feeling so alone
How could any one stay starry-eyed,
When its raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain has said, "Now you're on your own"

So Oliver don't be scared,
Though yesterday no one cared
They're getting your place prepared,
Where you want to be

Keep your dream alive,
Dreaming is still how the strong survive,
Once upon a time in New York City (x2)

And its always once upon a time, In New York City
