Why Should I Worry Lyrics

Dodger:
One minute, I’m in Central Park
Then I’m down on Delancey Street
From the Bowery to St. Marks
There’s a syncopated beat
I said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I’m street-wise
I can improvise

I said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

I’m street-smart
I’ve got New York City heart

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoir-faire

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It’s just be-bopulation
And I got street savoir-faire

The rhythm of the city
Boy, once you get it down
Then you can own this town
You can wear the crown

Why should I worry?
Tell me, why should I care?
Say, I may not have a dime
But, oh, I got street savoir-faire

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It’s just doo-wopulation
And I got street savoir-faire

Two Female Dogs, Chorus Dogs:
Ev’rything goes
Ev’rything fits

Dodger:
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I crossed that line
I got street savoir-faire

Dodger, Chorus Dogs:
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo (etc.)
