Start spreading the news
I'm leaving 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 wanna 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 that I'm a number one top of the list
King of the hill a number one
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
