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 Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york
I wanna 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
