Start spreading the news
I’m leavin today
I want to be apart of it
New York, New York

These bagabon shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

I wanna 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 bran 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 wanna 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 gunna make a bran new start of it
In old New York

And if I can make it there
I’m gunna make it anywhere
It’s up to you
New York, New York, New York-
