New York, New York, it’s a wonderful state. The lakes are fine and the mountains are great. Start in the west, where Niagara Falls is almost as gorgeous here as from Ontario. Drop down into Letchworth State Park, the Grand Canyon of the East. Then go up to the Thousand Islands, over into the Adirondacks, and back down into the Finger Lakes. Stop in Cooperstown, Village of Museums (including the Baseball Hall of Fame), and wave hi to Woodstock before arriving in ... New York, New York, it’s a wonderful town. The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down. And after 11-Sep-2001, it proved that it leads the nation in spunk per square mile.
