Biography

New York City-based band formed in December 1971 and active until early 1975. Johnny Thunders (guitar) and Rick Rivets (guitar), Arthur Kane (bass), and Billy Murcia (drums) were joined by David Johansen (vocals) in the initial lineup, named [a1495539]. In 1972, Sylvain Sylvain replaced Rivets and the band began to regularly play venues in Lower Manhattan, particularly at the [l=Mercer Arts Center]. The band had varying levels of success, but were never widely accepted in the US outside the New York City area, primarily due to their appearance. Thunders and Nolan left the band while on tour in Florida in early 1975, and the band soldiered on, often being billed as "The Dolls" for a few more months with fill-in musicians. The New York Dolls reunited from 2004 to 2011, with Johansen and Sylvain anchoring a fluid lineup of backing musicians.

LYRICS

Whoso fly up in th' sky
Faster than any boy could ever describe
Whos got that love so deep
And everything alive
(I said)

Jet Boys fly
Jet Boys gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

Think the kinda place where no one cares
What your livin for
And Jet Boys so preoccupied
He don't care 'bout before
(That's why)

Jet Boys fly
Jet Boys gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

My baby....

Jet Boys fly
Jet Boys gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

We was all endangered charms
Swear we're havin fun
And Jet Boy knows all we done
That's why he's the one
(That's why)

Jet Boys fly
Jet Boys gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

My pretty baby
My pretty pretty baby
My pretty baby

When I first came around this dump
I knew I couldn't stay
Cus up above the world are Jet Boy
That's why I gotta play
(Dontcha know that)

Jet Boys fly
Jet Boys gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin around New York City so high

Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby

Jet Boys fly
And ya know he's gone
I said he been gone,
Gone, gone gone

And he been flyin
And he been flyin
He been flyin
He been flyin

Baby up all night
Baby New York City
Baby so so high
Baby so so high

(Dontch know that)

Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my my my my baby

My my my my baby
My my my my
My baby
My baby, my baby
M-m-m-m-m-my baby

My baby
