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 want to 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'm gonna 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, 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
New York
