#1.
Mmm-hmm, there's no pity....in the naked city, yeah.
When you're all alone....and all your hard-earned
money's gone.
CHORUS:
There just ain't no pity (there is no pity)..
no, no, no, in the naked city..yeah, yeah, yeah..
(New York City.) unnh, help me now, mmm-hmm..
#2.
You go walkin' down Broadway....watchin' people catch the
subway.
Take it from me....don't ask for a helpin' hand....
mmmmm, cause no one will understand.
CHORUS:
Aaahhh, there's no pity, yeah..(there is no pity)..
No, no, no, in the naked city, yeah, yeah..
(New York City) oh, help me now, mmm-hmm.
BRIDGE:
(There's no pity) Folks that don't know think it's
very nice..(New York City.)
It's the only place I know where hearts turn to ice.
(There's no pity.)
You can have a room and your neighbor next door will
swear to someone, like the iceman, you don't live
there no more..(New York City.)
(INTERLUDE:) Bm7 Bb Am7 D
#3.
Mmmm, bright lights will find you....and they will mess you
around.
Let me tell ya....millions will watch you....have mercy now..
as you sink right down to the ground.
OUTRO:
Aaaahhh...there's no pity (there is no pity)..
no, no, no, in the naked city..yeah, yeah, yeah..
(New York City.) come on, help me now..
(there is no pity) aaahhhhhh..there's no pity..
(in New York City)..(Fade.)
