I was eating a gyro sandwich walking down Eighth Avenue

When a young girl came up to me and said, "Brother, you 

got something 

I can chew?"

Well I kept walking along trying to make up a song 

about what to do,

Telling how the city lights and the Broadway nights are 

like a dream 

come true 

Good old...



CHORUS:

New York, New York, so good they named it twice,

New York, New York, all the scandal and the vice, 1 

love it!

New York, New York, now isn't it a pity .........

What they say about New York City



It was a really nice night for a good street fight or a 

robbery

But I always knew in my home town that would never 

happen to me

I kept walking around trying to make up a sound 'bout 


what it's like 

to be

In the city of light on a rag time night, it's 

something more than 

free 

In good old...



New York, New York, so good they named it twice,

New York, New York, all the scandal and the vice, 1 

love it!

New York, New York, now isn't it a pity .........

What they say about New York City



Every time I have to leave and travel far away

I am never ever happy 'til I'm home to stay, 

Home to stay in New York



(Piano Solo)



New York, New York, so good they named it twice,

New York, New York,all the scandal and the vice, I love 

it!

New York, New York, now isn't it a pity.........

What they say about New York City
