Start spreadin' 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'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 never sleeps,
And find I'm A number 1,
Top of the list,
King of the hill,
A number 1,
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!
