Start spreadin' the newsI'm leavin' todayI want to be a part of itNew York, New York
These vagabond shoesAre longing to strayRight through the very heart of itNew York, New York
I want to wake upIn a city that doesn't sleepAnd find I'm king of the hillTop of the heap
These little-town bluesAre melting awayI'll make a brand new start of itIn old New York
If I can make it thereI'll make itAnywhereIt's up to youNew York, New York
New York, New YorkI want to wake up in a cityThat never sleeps
And find I'm A number oneTop of the listKing of the hillA number one
These little town bluesAre melting awayI'm gonna make a brand new start of itIn old New York
And if I can make it thereI'm gonna make it anywhereIt's up to youNew York, New York
