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 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
<instrumental>
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
A-a-a-nd if I can make it there,
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New
York
New York
