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
And make a brand new start of it
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 heap

These little town blues
Are meltin’ 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 wanna wake up in the city
That never sleeps
To find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap
A number one
It’s time for some fun

These little town blues
Are meltin’ 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
