Lyrics & Translation

[English]
(cheery guitar tone)
(light rock music)
- Now, I fancy a drink,
so I'm going on a guided pub
tour of New York to find out why
it's called "the city that never sleeps", let's go.
♫ Deer, a female deer
♫ Ray, a drop of golden sun ♫
That place was so cool, I've never seen anything like it.
There's a piano in the bar, people were singing
Broadway show tunes, it was wild!
I didn't wanna leave.
But it's time to go to the next bar.
Now, this one's got a funny name.
A Peculiar Pub.
Let's go check it out.
Cause you don't usually get a bar
where you can explore and find different
art on different walls,
and this is all made of bottle caps.
I'm looking around, I'm seeing hearts,
I'm seeing Egyptians, I'm seeing everything!
It's really cool.
(cheering)
We've got an awesome night so far,
people are partying on the street,
it's going wild out here,
but now it's time to go to the final bar.
Now this is what I've been waiting for,
we've made it to a really iconic bar
in New York, it's called Cafe Wha?
and it's where Jimi Hendrix had his first gig,
can you believe it?
Bob Dylan's played here.
You name them, they've played here.
Unfortunately, we can't film inside,
but you can imagine if only the walls could talk.
So, the tour's over, but I've had an
amazing night, I've made new friends,
I've had to call drinks, and I've been to
some amazing bars, singing, dancing.
The night's still young, and I'm going out.
