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
I'll walk right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city that does not sleep
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

New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that does not sleeps
Just to find that I'm king of the hill
A number one, top of the list, king of the hill

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
