New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothin' you can't do out of New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
[Bridge: Alicia Keys] One hand in the air for the big city Street lights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty No place in the world that could compare Put your lighters in the air Everybody say "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
