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 want to 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
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
All melting away
I want to make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
