Tom, get your plane right on time 
I know your part'll go fine 
Fly down to Mexico 
Da and here I am 
The only living boy in New York 
I get the news I need on the weather report 
Oh, I can gather all the news I need on the weather report 
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile 
Da and here I am 
The only living boy in New York 

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where 
And we don't know where 
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where 
And we don't know where 
Tom, get your plane right on time 
I know that you've been eager to fly now 
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine now 
Da
Like it shines on me 
The only living boy in New York 
The only living boy in New York
