Just when you think Stephen Colbert couldn’t be any more awesome… check out this video clip of Stephen Colbert, Alicia Keys singing “Empire State of Mind” together on The Colbert Report.
Here’s the Empire State of Mind Part II lyrics that Stephen Colbert raps – how Alicia Keys keeps a straight face through all of this…
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love New York, King of all the Cities
Lived up by the Guggenheim, ’til I got some kiddies
Moved to Connecticut, ‘bye George Pataki
Over to the dry-cleaners, pickin’ up my khakis
Shoppin’ mall is close, my community is gated
My shorties are all private school educated
Home theater system, 60-inch plasma
Clean suburban air, much better for my asthma
Still hit the city, Times Square, keep it real
Hard Rock Cafe for the appetizer deal
M&M Store, Disney Store, I’m in heaven
I own this town from 41st to 47th
Take you to The Lion King, that show is fantastic
Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic
I can get home really fast, driver rocks an E-Z Pass
Land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class
(Shout out to nofactzone.net for the lyrics!)

The song is incredible! Alicia and her back-up vocalist have truly nailed it and I love it. Had no idea Stephen could sing. I thought this would detract from the song, but he compliments just enough. Very good!

Colbert rocks the mic! That couldn’t have been easy. I agree this version is better than the JayZ version!
