Start spreading the news, I'am leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
And stay around the heart of it - New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep
To find I'am king of the hill - top of the heap
My 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 make it anywhere
It's up to you - New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill, hill of the list
Crème of the crop and the top of the heap
My 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 make it anywhere
Come on, come through - New York New York
