New Dorp, New York Lyrics

My girl's got a minimum
Keep it stuck right there 'til the lumber comes
Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen calienda, never seen the sun
(And he thinks I'm the negative one)

Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

My girl's got a little schtick
Keep your coat up in the kitchen while you feed the kids
Keep your waitin’ in the winter while the tension ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk; you know where it’s done
(You think I’m the negative one)

Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

New Dorp New York

Late nights and black Israelites
White women singing under dying the lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs
Late nights and black Israelites
White women singing under dying the lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs

I got a baseball bat, never hit home runs

My girl's got a minimum
Keep it stuck right there 'til the lumber comes
Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen calienda, never seen the sun

New Dorp New York

Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

My girl's got a little schtick
Keep your coat up in the kitchen while you feed the kids
Keep your waitin’ in the winter while the tension ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk; you know where it’s done

My girl's got a city to run

New Dorp, New York Song Chart

The title of this bass-heavy song references a small neighborhood in New York's most distant borough, Staten Island. It features rapped vocals from Ezra Koening. SBTRKT told The Guardian how he convinced the Vampire Weekend frontman to rap over the track. "We talked about it beforehand, and it made sense because Ezra had these great lyrics and I was intrigued by the fact he had this hip-hop past," he explained. "It's a quintessential New York song, it feels like it has ownership of a place and time, and that was what my album was about for me."
