[Verse 1]
To the citiest people in the whole wide world
You've been unkind to an un-city girl
From the stone walls you grew
So I'm not blaming you

[Chorus]
But look what the city
Just look how the city
Has taken a pretty
And made an ugly of you
Just look what the city is doin' to you

[Verse 2]
To the citiest people in the citiest towns
I'm not the one to be putting you down
From the stone walls you grew
But I grew there too

[Chorus]
And I know that the city
The dirty old city
Can take such a pretty
And make an ugly of you
Just look what the city is doin' to you
