Jerry feeling lonely in N.Y.

Tom, get your plane right on time.

I know your part'll go fine.

Fly down to Mexico.

Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,

The only living boy in New York.

I get the news I need on the weather report.

I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.

Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.

Da-n-do-da-n-do-da-n-do 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.

Tom, get your plane right on time.

I know that you've been eager to fly now.

Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine

Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da

Like it shines on me.

The only living boy in New York,

The only living boy in New York.

Acerca de la historia de la canción y su significado, aquí queda bastante claro. También sobre los ecos y las reverberaciones. Que EBTG la versionen no hace sino confirmar de qué fuentes beben.
