Start spreading the news,
I'm leaving today.
I want to be 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 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!
