Start spreadin' the news

I'm leavin' today

I want to be apart 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 want to 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- a if I can make it there

I'm gonna make it anywhere

It's up to you New York New York New York
