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
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 if I can make it there, I'm gonna make it
anywhere

It up to you - new york new york

New york
