Wikipedia:
New York City and its B-side Chrome Sitar, are taken from the 1976 album Futuristic Dragon. Although the single didn’t chart in Australia, it peaked at #15 at home in the UK.
T.Rex’s penultimate album, Futuristic Dragon, featured an inconsistent production style that veered from Wall of Sound-style songs to disco backing, with nostalgic nods to the old T.Rex boogie machine. It only managed to reach #50 in the UK, but was better received by the critics than the previous album, Bolan’s Zip Gun.

Did you ever see a woman
Coming out of New York City
With a frog in her hand
