"The Bronx" by Regina Spektor.

The recording quality is a bit low. Thanks to ridolfia for pointing out that at least one other recording of this song exists, with better quality, which you can download on the following web page:

Just search for "The Bronx", under the setlist for the 2003 Hoboken, NJ show.

--

Come downstairs, I'm buzzing you

Come downstairs, I got nothing to do

Come downstairs now

Come downstairs now

Come downstairs now

You know, there's a legend

And it goes like this:

If you kiss the lamppost between 224th street and 225th

In the Bronx

When it's a full moon

You'll be granted three wishes

But nobody does it

They don't believe in magical realism in the Bronx

They don't even believe it exists in other places

But especially not in the Bronx

Come downstairs now

I'm buzzing you

It's a full moon

Our wishes will come true soon

Do you know what I'd wish for?

Do you know what I'd wish for?

Do you know what I'd wish for?

Do you know what I'd wish for?

A 24-hour Baskin-Robbins in my neighborhood

An elevator in my building so that I wouldn't have to walk up to the eighth floor

And also a dog.

actually, there *is* another version of this song. In some ways it's even a better one. :) google: "No one ever leaves, they just change shape", first link. (sorry but youtube doesn't allow adding links). you'll find the song "the bronx" down the page.

If I ever go to the Bronx I will kiss that lamppost. So amazing you can't even describe it. (What is a 24-hour Baskin-Robbins?)
