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

 

 

If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere

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, oh, 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's up to you, New York, New York
