Safe In New York City is a song by popular hard rock group AC/DC. It is found on their 2000 album Stiff Upper Lip. The song is also a single.
The video to the song, directed by Andy Morahan, shows the band playing a busy tunnel in the city, surrounded and guarded by a lot of armed police guards.
The song itself is about a man's journey through New York City (probably at night) and identifying it as a scary place. The first verse is about the man trying to convince a female companion to accompany him. The second discusses the potential risks associated with going through the city, and the third describes an approach from a local woman wearing "tight assed jeans".
The track gained poignancy after 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City.

„
Hello baby, give me your hand
Check out the high spots, the lay of the land
We don't need a rocket or a big limousine
Ooh, come on over, baby, and I'll make you obscene
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
All over the city and out of the dives
Don't mess with this place, it'll eat you alive, yeah
Got a lip smacking honey to suck out the jam
On top of the world ma, ready to slam
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
Moving all over like a jumping bean
Take a look at that thing in the tight-ass jeans
Coming your way now, you may be in luck
Don't you fret boy, she's ready to buck
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
Raging
New York, New York, New York
I feel safe in a cage in New York City
Throw away the key
