Ooooh, New York!

Ooooh, New York!

Grew up in a town that is famous

as a place of movie scenes

Noise is always loud, there are sirens

all around and the streets are mean

If I can make it here, I can make

it anywhere, that's what they say

Seeing my face in lights or my name

in marquees found down on Broadway

Even if it ain't all it seems,

I got a pocketful of dreams

Baby I'm from New York!

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can't do

Now you're in New York!

These streets will make

you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

Hear it for New York,

New York, New Yooork!

On the avenue, there ain't never

a curfew, ladies work so hard

Such a melting pot, on the corner

selling rock, preachers pray to God

Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down

from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge

Some will sleep tonight with a

hunger for more than an empty fridge

I'ma make it by any means,

I got a pocketful of dreams

Baby I'm from New York!

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can't do

Now you're in New York!

These streets will make

you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

Hear it for New York,

New York, New Yooork!

One hand in the air for the big city

Street lights, big dreams,

all looking pretty

No place in the world that can compare

Put your lighters in

the air, everybody say

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

In New York!

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can't do

Now you're in New York!

These streets will make

you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

Let's hear it for New York,

New York, New Yooork!
