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
