Intro

 

Verse 1

Tom, get your plane right on time
I know your part'll go fine
Fly down to Mexico   
Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da and here I am
The only living boy in New York
 
I get the news I need on the weather report
Oh, I can gather all the news I need on the weather report
Hey, I've got nothing to do to - day but smile
Do-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da-n here I am
The only living boy in New York
  

Chorus

Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know
Where, and we don't know where

Interlude

Chorus

Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know
where, and we don't know where

Verse 2

Tom, get your plane right on time
I know that you've been eager to fly now
Hey, let your honesty shine, shine, shine now,
Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-do like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York
The only living boy in New York
