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

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

king of the one

These little town blues are melting away

I'll 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's up to you New York

New York
