From Harlem’s rhythm to the lights of Times Square,
The city’s heartbeat pulses, love is in the air
It’s almost NYC Pride, and we can barely wait,
We’re so excited, we can’t even think straight
It’s more than a party, more than a parade,
Every Pride, life-long connections are made
We build a safe space for LGBTQ+,
No matter the identity, there’s room for all of us
Join the Dyke March on Saturday, with banners held high,
Voices together in unison, reaching the sky
On Sunday, let a rainbow of colors beam on your face,
And let queer love take up all of the space
After the parades, it’s time to rejoice,
There are parties all weekend, so make your choice
Celebrate at Stonewall, where it all began,
We honor the heroes who took a stand
Swing by Cubbyhole for lesbians galore,
Go to Henrietta Hudson for even more
If you’re in Brooklyn, there’s a lesbian bar for you,
Try Ginger’s, Mary’s, and The Bush too
Get tickets to Hot Rabbit and dance until dawn,
Better get them fast before they’re all gone
If you like to party during the day,
Then Teaze or Bliss Days will blow you away
If you are the type that’s house-music-obsessed,
You’ll love all the parties hosted by House of Yes
No matter where you go or what you do,
NYC Pride is always inside you
So let the world hear our joyful cheer,
Because in this city, love conquers fear
We cannot be silenced, no matter how hard they try,
We love you forever, NYC Pride.
