Start spreading the news

I am leaving today

I want to be a part of it

New York New York

These vagabond shoes

They are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it

New York New York

I want to wake up in that city

That doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap

My little town blues

They are melting away

I gonna 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 that city

That never sleeps

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the list

My little town blues

They are melting away

I gonna 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
