City Kids by Karina Rykman Lyrics

City kids don't walk on grass oh no
They walk so fast oh yeah!
I see ya, I see ya and you're barefoot on the lawn
How can we get along?
We can't
I tried to learn suburban things
But pumpin gas is not for me

Maybe it's time to cut the kids a break
Maybe we'll eat some cake
And spin around in circles til we think we're gonna die
I swear I'm an okay guy
I think!
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make it sink

City kids don't walk on grass oh no
Ayye ayye ayye woooh!

Yea I never learned to camp
Can't even pitch a tent
I've been jumping turnstyles hailing taxi's with intent
Do you need directions?
I bet!
It's not where you're from but it's where I'm at
City kids don't walk on grass oh no
Ayye ayye ayye woooh!



Hey Karina help me rake these leaves
What leaves? I don't do leaves. There's no leaves
Hey Karina can you help me with this spider over here?
There's no spider. No-no-no-no-no absolutely not. I don't kill my own spiders
How bout a slice? You guys want pizza? Bagel? Everything?

City Kids don't walk on grass

I'm from Manhattan

I was walking down Park Avenue. Lady had twelve chinchillas on a leash

I once went sky-diving with David Byrne. I didn't even get a picture

City kids don't walk on grass oh no
City kids don't walk on grass
Aawww ya!
