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 step around the heart of it
New York, New York

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

My 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'd 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 doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Head of the list
Cream of the crop
At the top of the heap
My 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'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through
New York, New York
