Start spreading the news I'm leaving today I wanna 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 the 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
