Lyrics:

Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' 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 want to 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
It's up to you,
New York, New Yoooooooooork...
New Yooork!
