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

and make a brand new start of it

new york new york

i want to wake up in the

city that doesn't sleeps

to 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 the

city that doesn't sleeps

to find i'm king of the

hill top of the heap

crème of the crop and

the top of the heap

my 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

come on come though
