[Verse 1]

One minute I'm in central park.

Then, I'm down on delancey street.

Said, from the bow'ry to st mark's.

There's a syncopated beat. right.

[Pre-chorus]

I said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

I'm streetwise.

I can improvise.

I said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

I'm streetsmart.

I've got new york city heart.

[Chorus]

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

I may not have a dime.

But I got street savoir faire.

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

It's just be-bopulation.

And I got street savoir faire.

[Verse 2]

The rhythm of the city.

But once you get it down.

Said, then you can own this town.

You can wear the crown!

[Chorus]

Why should I worry? tell me.

Why should I care?

I said, I may not have a dime. oh!

But I got street savoir faire.

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

It's just doo-wopulation.

And I got street savoir faire.

[Bridge]

Ev'rything goes.

Ev'rything fits.

They love me at the chelsea!

They adore me at the ritz!

[Chorus]

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

And even when I cross that line.

I got street savoir faire.

[Fading]

I said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

I said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.
