A New Town Is A Blue Town

A New Town Is A Blue Town

music and lyric by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross

A new town is a blue town.
A whod'ya know and show me what you can do, town.
There's no red carpet at your feet; if you're not tough they'll try to beat you down,
In the new, blue town.

The old town, it's not like the old town.
You don't take long to find that you're in a cold town.
But you know you can lick it; you didn't buy a round-trip ticket to this cold, cold, new, blue town.

Well, nobody asked me to come here and nobody asked me to stay.
Made up my own mind and I know that I'll find my own way.
Since that first day when I said, "Hi, town!"

But I won't leave until I make it my town, they'll see.
This one-horse, two-bit, hick of a new town ain't gonna lick me!
This one-horse, two-bit, hick of a new town ain't gonna lick me.
Not me!
