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

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
