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 one
Top of the list
King of the hill
A number one

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
