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 a city
That doesn't sleep
To find I'm a king of the hill, ha
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'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York

New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city
That doesn't sleep
To find I'm a king of the hill
Head of the list
Cream of the crop at the top of the heap

My little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York

If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through
New York, New York
