[Verse 1] I was sleeping gently napping when I heard the phone   Who is on the other end talking am I even home [Verse 2] Did you see what she did to him did you hear what they said Just a New York conversation rattling in my head [Chorus] Oh oh my and what shall we wear Oh oh my and who really cares [Verse 3] Just a New York conversation gossip all of the time Did you hear who did what to whom happens all the time [Verse 4] Who has touched and who has dabbled here in the city of shows Openings closings bad repartee everybody knows [Chorus 2] Oh how sad and why do we call Oh I’m glad to hear from you all [Outro] I am calling yes I am calling just to speak to you   For I know this night will kill me if I can’t be with you If I can’t be with you
