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
