Lyrics
That’s not a plan
To move us away from Manhattan
Where we have no family or friends
Living by the trees and the mountains
Why do I feel I’ll be lurching from place to place
Away from the comfort of the skyscraper
You say we’ve gotta scrimp and save
But honey, that’s no fire escape
That’s not a plan
That’s not a plan
Seattle, no
You’re outta control
What good could that do for us
Are our worries so high up in the sky
That we’d leave our life in the Big Apple
Maybe New York doesn’t mean anything to you
But it’s a life and a dream for me
Thinking of our family
I just can’t entertain this bad news
I would move anywhere with you
But right now, no
That’s not a plan
To move us away from Manhattan
Why do I feel I’ll be lurching from place to place
Away from the comforts of the skyscraper
Sayin' we gotta scrimp and save
But honey, that’s no fire escape
That’s not a plan
That's not a plan
Seattle, no
You’re outta control
What good’s that move for us
Are our worries so high up in the sky
To say good-bye to the Big Apple
Maybe New York doesn’t mean anything to you
But for me it's my dream come true
Thinking of our family walking down Fifth Avenue
It's too much to entertain your bad news
That’s not a plan
I would move anywhere with you
But right now, no
There's nowhere I'd rather go
Seeing polar bears in the Central Park Zoo
I’ve thought about it
My husband
And that’s not a plan
But right now, no
There's nowhere I'd rather go
Seeing polar bears in the Central Park Zoo
I’ve thought about it
My husband
And that’s not a plan
That's not a plan
I'll die on the isle of Manhattan
Sorry my man
That's not a plan
