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
and step around the heart of it
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in that city, that doesn't sleep,
to find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap.
My 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'd make it anywhere
it's up to you
New York, New York
I wanna wake up, in that city that doesn't sleep,
to find I'm king of the hill, head of the list
cream of the crop at the top of the list
My 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'd make it anywhere
it's up to you,
