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 

And make a brand new start of it 

New York, New York 

I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps 

To 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.
