Well, some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami beach or to Hollywood
But I'm takin' a greyhound
On the Hudson river line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all those movie stars
And their fancy cars and their limousines
I've been high in the rockies, under the evergreens oh oh
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a new york state of mind oh oh
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues (oh with the rhythm and blues)
But now I need a little give and take (give and take)
New York times (and the daily news), the daily news oh oh
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown (or up on riverside) or up on riverside
I don't have any reasons
'Cause I left them all behind
We're in a New York state of mind
Get a New York state of mind
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues (with the rhythm and blues)
But now I need a little give and take
The New York times (the daily news) (helps you lose your blues)
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or up on riverside (or up on riverside)
We don't have any reasons
We've left them all behind
I'm in a New York,
I'm in a New York state of
We're in a New York state of mind

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
