Tom-, get your plane right on time.

I know your part'll go fine.

Fly- down to Mexico---

G5                              F5
Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da and here I am-

    C5                     F5           C5   F5 C5 D5
The only living boy in New York.

  C5                                      F5
I get the news I need from the weather report-

      C5                                             F5
I can gather all the news I need from the weather report-

Hey- I've got nothing to do to-day but smile

The only living boy in New York.

D5                          G5                 C5
Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know where

                  F5
And we don't know where-

C5                              F5
Tom- , get your plane right on time.

C5                                   F5
I know that you've been eager to fly now-

C5                       F5      C5      D5    F5
Hey- , let your honesty shine, shine, shine now,

G5                                F5  D5 F5
Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-do- like it shines on me.

C5                          F5
The only living boy in New York.

C5                          F5         C5
The only living boy in New York.
