So much for my neat vacation!
Oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh!

Time for vacation.
Thought it would be neat.
When I got to New York,
It sure was not a treat!
Traveling two hours
In a city so huge
And so spread out
With population deluge.

It was all the things I'd heard about,
And I thought I'd have fun.

CHORUS:
Wasn't anything, anything that I wanted.
When I drove so far, I clipped my car,
And got lost there.
And New York's memories of tragedies won't fad away.
Almost faced annihilation!
So much for my neat vacation!

Checked out the Yankees—
A two-hour ride
Crawling at a snail's pace.
I almost cried!
Used valet parking;
Then after the game
Those jerks couldn't find my car,
And rival fan gangs insane!

Then we got lost in a tough neighborhood.
Thank God we're still alive!

CHORUS:
Wasn't anything, anything that I wanted.
When I drove so far, I clipped my car,
And got lost there.
And New York's memories of tragedies won't fad away.
Almost faced annihilation!
So much for my neat vacation!


It's nice to say that I've been there,
But the traffic's such a scare!
New York is still a nightmare after Nine-One-One.
The subway system's much too big;
On and off and zag and zig!
And driving risks a hit and run!

CHORUS: (2X)
Wasn't anything, anything that I wanted.
When I drove so far, I clipped my car,
And got lost there.
And New York's memories of tragedies won't fad away.
Almost faced annihilation!
So much for my neat vacation!

Oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh!
Oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh!

It wasn't such a neat vacation!
