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 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'm gonna 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
