Start spreading the news I am 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'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 Oh they're 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 York, New York
