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
in old 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'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.
I wanna wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the list
My 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
C'mon... come through...
New York, New York
New York...
