Start spreading the news, you're leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
Your vagabond shoes, they are longing to stray
And stay around the heart of it - New York, New York
I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
And find your king of the hill - top of the heap
You're small town blues, they are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
You always make it there, you make it anywhere
It's up to you - New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up in that city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill, top of the list
A number one, King of the hill
These little town blues, they had all melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it right there - in old New York
You always make it there, you make it anywhere
come on come through - New York New York
