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
Right through the very 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
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
I want to wake up
In a city that never sleeps
To find I'm a number one, top of the list
King of the hill, a number one
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand-new start of it
In old New York
Baby, if I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
