NYC from Annie is featured in Opening Night, the seventeenth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Sue and Will.

Lyrics[]
Sue:
NYC
What is it about you
You're big
You're loud
You're tough
Will:
NYC
I go years without you
Then I can't get enough
Enough of the cab drivers answering back
With language far from pure
Sue:
Enough of frankfurters answering back
Brother, you know you're (Will: in NYC) NYC
Sue and Will:
Too busy, too crazy
Too hot, too cold, too late
I'm sold again on NYC
NYC
The shadows at sundown
The roofs, that scrape, the sky
NYC
(Will: The rich and) the rundown
The big parade goes by
Will:
What other town has the Empire State
And a mayor, five foot two
Sue:
No other town in the whole forty eight
Can half compare to you
Sue and Will:
Oh, NYC
Will:
You make 'em all postcards
Sue and Will:
You crowd, you cramp
You're still the champ
Amen for NYC
Will:
NYC
Just got here this morning
Sue and Will:
Three bucks, two bags
One me
Sue:
NYC
Will:
NYC
Sue and Will:
I give you fair warning
Up there in lights I'll be
NYC
You're standing room only
You crowd, you cramp
You're still the champ
Amen for NYC
