Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I wanna be a part of it
New York, New York

These vagabond shoes
They been longing to stray
To the very heart of it
New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill
Top of the freaking heap

These little town blues
They're melting away
It's time to make a brand new start of it
New York, New York

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


Oh yeah ladies and gentlemen
I wanna wake up in a city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill
Top of the walk
Infinite overlord of all space and time
Oh ho ho yeah
Ya feel this baby?

Oh, these little town blues
Oh, they are melting away
I am gonna make a brand new start of it
(Where?)
In old New York

Ladies and gentlemen, if I can
Make it there
God knows I'm gonna make it
(Anywhere)

It's up to you
New
York
New York

New York!
