Once Upon A Time in New York City by Huey Lewis- Oliver and Company

I just absolutely love this song.

Once Upon A Time In New York City by Huey Lewis-Oliver and Company


VERSE ONE
Now it's always once upon a time
In New York City
It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true
But beginnings are contagious there
They're always setting stages there
They're always turning pages there for you

VERSE TWO
Ain't it great the way it all begins
in New York City?
Right away you're making time and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out you're on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends

CHORUS ONE
So, Oliver, don't be shy
Get out there, let go and try
Believing that you're the guy
They're dying to see
'Cause a dream's no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in New York City

VERSE THREE
If it's always once upon a time
In New York City
Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone?
How could anyone stay starry eyed
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain is saying, "Now you're on your own"?

Instrumental

CHORUS TWO
So, Oliver, don't be scared
Though yesterday no one cared
They're getting your place prepared
Where you want to be
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City

Melody Instrumental

END CHORUS
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
And it's always once upon a time
In New York City

Embedding is allowed now. haha.

i hope this teaches young kids out there that cats deserve to be loved and cared for and not to be left behind on the streets. this movie as well as many other disney movies have different messages that try to bring good to children and to grow up remembering those lessons and remember those disney movies from their childhood. never let those movies go! they are to be cherished forever!

I agree 100%

"Keep your dream alive

Dreaming is still how the strong survive"

Those lines really mean a lot. Makes me want to cry every time I hear them.

I saw this movie in 1988 in theaters when i was 7 years old 3 times and my last one was after christmas day, i had some of the original merchandise like soundtrack, Mcdonalds stuff, coloring books, readalong book with cassette, stuffed Oliver, PVC toys from sears, PJs, t-shirt and junior novel. Too bad it never came out on video the next year or next as it look a longass time to come on video, i did enjoyed it's re-issue at age 14 and even bought the movie on video when it finally came out

@porky2porky actually this movie is VERY LOOSELY based off oliver Twist, so loosely that most people don't even figure out the relation unless someone point it to them. As such, a sequel isn't really that hard.

but considering how utterly crapastic "Disasterrific" Disney has become, it's probably a good idea that they haven't made a sequel for this. It would ruin the damn good memories we have of this fantastic film
