Lyrics
That’s not a plan
To move us away from Manhattan
Where we have no family or friends
Staring out at the trees and the mountains
That's not a plan
To 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
[ short instrumental]
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
[ short instrumental]
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
That's not a plan
My man
That's not a plan
[instrumental exit]
I'll die on the isle of Manhattan
[end]
