You know I met her in a night club down in SoHo
She was working on some douche bag drinking SoCo
Leaning in to let a nip show
Until he bought her friends a round of Sprite and Tito's
And I don't know what I'm supposed to think
When she pushed off the bar with a round of drinks
The banker she played just sits there and blinks
Dimly aware his odds are sinking
And then she smiled at me
And she slid through the crowd easily
And she never took her eyes off me
Just like some kind of movie scene
She had dark hair pierced nose
She had a wicked grin vintage clothes
She rocked a short dress in steel toes
You know I love a girl in steel toes
She's the beggar queen of New York City
Got no money but she likes to feel pretty so
She's got a potion in a magic matchbook
And Gucci bag of dimes
Every club in New York City all looked the same
She knew every bartender and bouncer by name
We never had to wait in line they'd just wave her in
She would conjure drinks with just a nod and a grin
We drank and partied every night for two or three months
Her magic stopped flowing I was plugging it up
Bouncers always change and bartenders quit
And who wants to wait in line for twenty dollars a beer
I'll never know just what she saw in me
She tapped my shoulder and said come with me
From Greenwich to the Bowery
She's the beggar queen of New York City
Got no money but she likes to feel pretty so
She's got a potion in a magic matchbook
And Gucci bag of dimes
She's the beggar queen
She has a chemistry
That always got me high
I left her on a corner down in SoHo
She was working on some baller in a Lambo
Leaning just enough to let her nip show
Until he leaned across the car to open the door
She's the beggar queen of New York City
Got no money but she likes to feel pretty so
She's got a potion in a magic matchbook
And Gucci bag of dimes
She always got me high
She always got me high
