Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York.
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York.
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill,
Top of the heap...
These little-town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York.
If I can make it there,
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York.
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A number 1,
Top of the list,
King of the hill,
A number 1...
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York.
And if I can make it there,
I'm gonna make it anywhere.
It's up to you
New York, New York.
New York!
