Why Should I Worry? lyrics - Billy Joel

(from "Oliver & Company" soundtrack)

One minute I'm in Central Park

Then I'm down on Delancey Street

Said from the Bowery to St Marks

Heh, there's a syncopated beat

Alright

Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

I'm streetwise, I can improvise

Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

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 bebop-ulation

And I got street savoir-faire

Mm-hmm

The rhythm of the city

Boy, once you get it down

Said 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

Oh, but I got street savoir-faire

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

It's just doo-wop-ulation

And I got street savoir-faire

Everything goes

Everything fits

They love me at the Chelsea

They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?

Why should I care? Yeah!

Even when I cross that line

I got street savoir-faire

Whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

Whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

Whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo
