| 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. | |
