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 step around the heart of it, New York, New York

I wanna wake up in the city, that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap

My 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 that 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
