Once Upon a Time in New York City is the song that plays at the beginning of Oliver & Company. It is sung by Huey Lewis and written by Barry Mann and Howard Ashman. Once Upon a Time in Winston-Salem, North Carolina is the same thing.

Lyrics

Now its always once upon a time, In New York City.

Its a big old, bad old, tough old town,its true.

But beginnings are contagious there,

They're always setting stages there.

They're always turning pages there for you.

Ain't it great the way it all begins in New York City?

Right away,you're making time,and making friends.

No one cares where you were yesterday

If they pick you out, you're on your way,

To a once upon a time that never ends.

So Oliver,don't be shy

Get out there and go and try.

Believin' that you're the guy,

They're dying to see....Cause a dream's no crime

Not once upon a time,

Once upon a time in New York City.

If its always once upon a time in New York City,

Why does nightfall leave you feeling so alone.

How could any one stay starry-eyed,

When its raining cats and dogs outside.

And the rain has said,"Now you're on your own".

So Oliver don't be scared,

Though yesterday no one cared.

They're getting your place prepared,

Where you want to be.

Keep your dream alive, Dreaming is still how the strong survive, Once upon a time in New York City (x3)

And it's always once upon a time...In New York City
