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

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

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 up to you New York , New York

New York

New York
