This is the story of Astoria
A little town in Queens and it's glorious
I can't describe the euphoria
So I'll take you there
In this little pocket of New York City
There's people from all around the world to see
The languages, the styles, the diversity
The neighborhood we share
You know I have been to Queens before
But you've never really seen it like this before
So ready, set let's start the tour
And stand clear of the closing doors
This is where I'm from
And it's the best ever, best ever
So won't you come along
And see the best ever, nothing better
The energy of NYC but everyone knows everyone
It really is the best ever, best ever
Let's go explore
I'm telling you, I have been to Queens before
You sure
I'm sure
And?
What is that look for?
Well isn't it the best ever?
I guess it is nice, but I bet I've seen better
Nah, you're just a tourist
You'll agree with me by the time we get to the chorus
Right from the get go
Hop off the metro
Slide down the railing
Get set and let go
Pick up a vinyl
Everything's retro
Know all the neighbors
Say yo, Gustavo
Hey, it's Ernesto
Making his pesto
Put it to the test
Is this not the best
I guess I'm impressed
I wanna say yes
But I'm not convinced yet
So show me what's next
Mrs. Singh's feasts they cannot be beat
Her Mulligatawny's the best on the street
I have to agree, this does bring the heat
So show me one more before I believe
Aleko's forever
The shwarma, the feta
The galaktaboureko
Wow, this really is the best ever
Best ever
This is where I'm from
And it's the best ever, best ever
So won't you come along
And see the best ever, nothing better
This community is new to me
But I'm having so much fun
It really is the best ever, best ever
I like when I see her look of surprise
I like how I see this town through his eyes
I like that she likes my neighborhood
And I gotta say, that Galakta-stuff was really good
I like how we view the world differently
It makes me wonder if we could be
(The best ever, the best ever, best ever)
Oh, can we be
(The best ever, the best ever, best ever)
