Start spreadin´ the news
I´m leavin´ today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York

These vagabond shoes
Are longin´ 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
To find I´m cream of the crop and top of the heap

These little-town blues
Are meltin´ away
I´ll make a brand-new start of it
Oh, in New York

If I can make it there
I´ll make it anywhere
New York
It´s up to you
New York
