Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the sound of my town

New York is the city of cities, New York is still wearing the crow-own

Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the people I love

Everyone is speaking your language, New York speaks in your native to-ongue



New York (New York) - we're skatin' down broadway

At midnight or midday - we do our own thing

New York (New York) - a city with gusto

New York is a big show - it's what's happening



Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the cats on the street

New York is the fans of the Yankees, New York is a cop on the bea-eat

Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the steeple bells chime

New York is a city of magic, New York is a hip state of mi-ind



New York (New York) - the city of night life

The city of bright lights - we're doin' our part

New York (New York) - the city of fashio-ion

The city of passio-ion - this town has a heart



Listen to the sound of the city, New York is the pulse of the world

New York is the meca that's broadway, New York is the style on the gir-irl

Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the sound of my tow-ow-own

You can take a ride on the tramway, hold your breath while your comin' dow-own



New York (New York), perpetual motion

From ocean to ocean - there's nothing compares

New York (New York) - the parks and the playgrounds

New York is the sweet sound - of children at play



Listen to the sound of the city, New York at the dock is ali-i-ive

Uptown and the roads are in column, New York is a city with pri-i-ide

Listen to the sound of the city, New York is both future and past

New York is the city of music, New-ew Yor-ork is the city with cla-ass



Listen to the sound of the city,
