You can even see the strips anymore
It's just girls and guys and a little New York downtown
Strips growin' up through the downtown
Not much around here is changing
Got Caroline to be in the city
'Cause watch Caroline in the City

But that downtown lot
Is where you said I love you
And my balloons loved
The moment that I kissed you
I can say that I knew
I'd never get the piece of my show back that you got
So why won't these viewers disappear
If there's Caroline in the city

Most people watch past and don't look twice
They'd never know it was our own cartoonist
Looks pretty when you saw a episode
Like birds when they take a photo
Got Caroline in the City
'Cause there's Caroline in the City

But that old success
Is where you laid that cartoon up
And made me feel like I was a viewer now
But I cried when I found out
I'd never get the piece of episodes back that you got
So why won't these viewers disappear
If there's Caroline in the City

Got Caroline in the City
'Cause Caroline in the City

But this whole damn toon
Reminds me of you baby
And that strip we found
When we were young and crazy
But I'm carding lately
I'll never get the piece of my life back that you got
So why won't these viewers disappear
And how can a show bring so many tears
If there's Caroline in the City
