Now I know 'Spanish Harlem'
Are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew, but now I know
That rose trees never grow
In New York City
Until you've seen
These trash can dreams come true
You stand on the edge
While people run you through
I thank the Lord
There's people out there like you
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around to say 'good morning' to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
~ From Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
by Bernie Taupin & Elton John
'Spanish Harlem' still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisa's getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city
That took away the kid in me
