(Ahh)

Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand?

Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand?

I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
And don't it show?

Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand?

Did you ever see a woman
Coming from New York City
With a frog in her hand?

I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
And don't it show?

(Yeah)

I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
And don't it show?

(Yeah)

Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand?

Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand?

I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
I did, don't you know?
And don't it show?

(Yeah)

Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh

Overall Meaning

At first glance, the lyrics to Mickey Finn's T-Rex's song "New York City" might seem nonsensical, perhaps even comical. However, upon closer inspection, the words are ripe for interpretation. What might this mysterious woman and her frog represent?


One possibility is that the woman and her frog symbolize something unexpected and unexplainable that can be found in the city streets of New York. This woman is not afraid to hold the frog in her hand, suggesting a comfort with the unknown or a willingness to embrace unconventional beauty. The repetition of the lines "I did, don't you know?" and "And don't it show?" could indicate a sense of pride in being able to see and appreciate the unusual.


Alternatively, the woman and her frog could be interpreted as a commentary on the absurdity of urban life. The crowded and chaotic streets of New York can be overwhelming and nonsensical, and perhaps this woman and her frog serve as a metaphor for the strangeness that can be found in daily life.


Ultimately, the meaning of the lyrics is open to interpretation and may vary depending on the listener's individual experiences and perspectives.
