lyrics
Doctor won’t you cut out my cancer please
But leave my broken heart
Love’s a lot like a deadly disease
It needs a damaged place to start
We’ll always have Far Rockaway
You won’t see me again
It’s better this way
We may not have Paris, but
We’ll have Far Rockaway
I’m flying in to JFK on
BOAC or Pan American
I need to hear what my doctors say about
That pain in my chest – it was gone
But now it’s there again
We’ll always have Far Rockaway…
White Castle burgers and Jamaica Bay
We may not have Paris, but
We’ll have Far Rockaway
There’s no future in the wreck of a love affair
It would’ve been good if you could look me in the eye
Your love is like a cancelled cheque floating in the air
You promised me millions but the well ran dry
We’ll always have Far Rockaway…
White Castle burgers and Jamaica Bay
We may not have Paris, but
We’ll have Far Rockaway
“Get in the car with Leo now
"Leo’s gonna take you to the beach.
"Leo, take the scenic route, please... Bye-bye”
We’ll always have Far Rockaway
You won’t see me again
It’s better this way
We may not have Paris, but
We’ll have Far Rockaway
