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
