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-1…

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 gone make it anywhere.

It’s up to you, New York, New York!
