For years I couldn't make out the lyrics of this line of the song apart from the very clear. "New York" and "superballs".so thanks for clarifying that.
"In from New York, prompted her to talk of superballs."
Maybe it doesn't make sense but who cares?
Embarrassed to admit that, in the previous line, I've always heard "Purple" and not "Verbal" slang.
I'm not a stickler for poring over lyrics myself.........
Good luck with your quest slyredfox
