[Saturday Night Live, Marc Cohn, Method Man - Walking in Staten lyrics]
Put on my bootleg Jordans
And boarded the train
Touched down in the land of Colin
Jost and the legendary Wu Tang
Drive on by the garbage dump so big
You could see it from space
Yeah, we got like 80 bagel spots and
Every block has a pizza place
And I'm walking in Staten
All the way from Stapleton to Great Kills
Walking in Staten
We've got a lot of cops and a ton of pills
Saw the ghost of Robert Loggia and said
"From where do I know you?" he said
"I was the guy on the piano in Big"
And he sparked up a major doob
Security sure did smell him
And thеy said "Who the hell are you?"
Man, it's Pеte and Wet
And you'd best bet that Marc Cohn's gonna sue
No, I don't want to be in a parody
Of my own song what do you mean
I'm already in it?
And I'm walking in Staten
Is this a pizza place or a bagel place?
Walking in Staten
It's actually a pizza place
Inside a bagel place
They've got the Verrazzano Narrows
(It's actually pretty wide)
They've got Chris the Hobby Guy
(Hey, it's Chris and Lisa! Hop in)
And when you see wild turkeys by
The hospital an alarming amount
No one even bats an eye
Man, it's really weird in Staten
I think this strip club used
To be a McDonald's
And our zoo is shockingly small
Once I saw Method Man hit a hole-in-one
At the Safari Mini-Golf
Staten Island is where I'm walkin'
Real is what I'm talkin'
Y'all proceed with caution
Don't cross this native New Yorkin'
You know we Empire State
We're devastatin' and awesome
My Yankee hat a statement
And a middle finger to Boston
Not like I'm walkin' in Memphis
Feel it in my britches
Elvis made his little riches
By stealin' from Little Richard
Where I'm from we a little different
We're trappin' and easy passin'
Cross the Verrazzano and welcome to Staten
We were drinkin' White Claws and bootlegs
And the cops challenged us to a fight
He said, "Tell me, are you Italian?"
And I said, "Man, I am tonight"
And I was walking in Staten
This place is the reason I turned out weird
Walking in Staten
And thanks to New Jersey, we now have deer
And we were walking in Staten
Where everybody's dreams go right
Down the drain walking in Staten
Babies here are born with a golden chain
Wow, look at the ocean
Guys imagine if we could actually swim in it
What's that out in the water?
A dead body
Great
And boarded the train
Touched down in the land of Colin
Jost and the legendary Wu Tang
Drive on by the garbage dump so big
You could see it from space
Yeah, we got like 80 bagel spots and
Every block has a pizza place
And I'm walking in Staten
All the way from Stapleton to Great Kills
