The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.

GEORGE WILSON:
Good morning dock,
How's the view from up there?
Got me a hunch,
Gonna be a good day.
Keep those spectacles clean!
Keep those eyes wide,
'Cause I've seen them green!
Gotta feeling that sometime this morning,
Good things are rolling my way.
See this dock?!
Little gift for the wife
A few hundred more.
Soon this whole place,
Will be in the review
Gonna get her out west!
Like Ohio where things will be best!
Buy a tract house,
So god be on lookout,
I hear my dream comin' true.
There you go!
Now you know why it's time
To leave the Valley of Ashes!
Where I'm the only attraction
On the way to Manhattan!
Thick as molasses!
You're like the eyes of God!
If God needed glasses....

The Great Gatsby the Musical Lyrics

Roaring On
Sophisticated
My Share of the Heavens
For Her
Valley of Ashes
For Better or Worse
Only Tea
My Green Light
Better Hold Tight
Past Is Catching Up to Me
Go
Valley of Ashes (reprise)
For Better or Worse (reprise)
For Her (reprise)
Beautiful Little Fool
Finale Roaring On
