Green to this.
Where's a manual when you need one?
The back of your hands, no good to you now.
Right angles,
It's all shaped wrong when it should be rolling.
You're pining every trick this box hasn't got.
It's alright...
didn't I tell you so?
It's alright.
It's all in the process.
It's alright.
You're all set to go.
So don't give me that look...
'cause I know you're up to it.
My favourite thing,
to walk out on the bridge and look back on Manhattan,
under sunset covers while the city lights up.
You'll find yours,
whoever, whatever you need, it'll be here.
Guaranteed under amongst these golden oak streets
It's alright...
'Cause I'm telling you so.
It's alright.
It's all in the process.
It's alright.
You're all set to go.
So don't give me that look...
'cause I know you're up to it.
Just one place.
Just one place,
to make amends.
Just one friend.
Just one friend,
that's all it takes.
It's alright.
Didn't I tell you so?
It's alright.
It's all in the process.
It's alright,
and you're all set to go.
so don't give me that look,..
'cause I know you're up to it.
Where's a manual when you need one?
The back of your hands, no good to you now.
Right angles,
It's all shaped wrong when it should be rolling.

It's alright...
didn't I tell you so?
It's alright.
It's all in the process.

You're all set to go.

You'll find yours,

Guaranteed under amongst these golden oak streets
It's alright...

"When a friendly cabbie tells two young sisters the story of a boy named Leo who moved to Manhattan with his family, a magical adventure begins in this new-to-DVD animated adventure. While adjusting to the big city and enjoying the days leading up to Christmas, Leo accidentally loses his dog Ramona in Central Park. Leo is devastated by his loss until a magical creature named Little Spirit appears and takes him on a quest to find Ramona. Leo and Little Spirit venture out on the journey of a lifetime, taking in the festive surroundings of the city and meeting people from all walks of life. By the time Leo is reunited with Ramona, he has an eclectic group of friends that make the strange city seem like home."
This helps make sense of the lyrics, e.g. 'don't give me that look... 'cause I know you're up to it'. Also the reference to Manhattan, since the film is set in New York. Incidentally, the line should be 'golden old streets', not 'oak' or 'oat'! This could be a reference to the 'brownstone' buildings in the older parts of New York.
Of course in the end the song was not used for the film, hence 'The Song That Never Was'.

to walk out on the bridge and look back on Manhattan,
under sunset covers while the city lights up.
You'll find yours,

Guarenteed under amongst these golden oat streets.(leave it to immi)
