Wait no hold it just a minute

We can't let this loser win it

I know just what we should do

We need someone who is smart

A mix of intellect and heart

In fact a someone just like you

You've been the brains behind the man

For every fool who ever ran

You're the one who should run

Show that fool how it's done

New York needs Carol Evans what say you

I was born and raised in Harlem lucky me

The best part of what we folks call NYC

It's a lived-in kind of place

You gotta love

With neighbors down below and up above

Where history was made

By folks who sang and played

The kind of songs that all New Yorkers love

Then someone tried to take our song away

Rob us of the things that make us proud

I sat there stunned not knowing what to say

Until I found my courage in a crowd

And with a strength in numbers I can say

New York I'm here to stand with you today

I say when you get to know me

New York I want you to show me

Just how I can serve you best

Don't hold back if you have questions

Gripes snipes grievances suggestions

Please folks put me to the test

I'm a New Yorker same as you

I want to fix it good as new

Ev'ry block

Ev'ry block

Ev'ry bridge

Ev'ry bridge

Broken pipe

Broken pipe

Busted fridge

Busted fridge

Wherever folks are down or dispossessed

As long as there's a need

I'll never rest

Yeah

Vote Carol for mayor
