Best in the City Lyrics

Best in the city - that's what everyone says

She's always so busy - best to call ahead

She asked me where I'm from - as she cut my hair

Just typical small talk - from a barber's chair - I said

How 'bout you - where you from?

She hesitated as she chewed her gum

She took a sip from her Coca-Cola

And finally said I'm from - Cambodia

She worked all day from morning to dusk

My good friend said getting her is a must

Call ahead cause she's always busy after all she's the best in the city

Cambodia - 40 years since the flight

She was just six years old and held her mom's hands tight

Fled the war not knowing her fate

With her mom and 6 siblings - they all had escaped

Now there's pictures of her kids on the mirror

Her pride and joy couldn't be any clearer

Is this really what it seems

She's the American dream

She said

Should I take a little more off the top

I said no - it's perfect in fact

And there's a bunch of your customers lined out the door

Thanks so much for cutting my hair

Cause after all

You're the best in the city

After all

Best in the city

After all

The best in the city

After all

Best in the city
