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 that 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 that city That doesn't sleep And find I'm king of the hill A number one Top of the list Man of the hour All these little town blues All melting away Right through the very heart 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
